SB1: Students develop an understanding of the characteristic properties of matter and the relationship of these properties to their structure and behavior.
SB1.1: predicting the properties of an element (i.e., reactivity, metal, non-metal) using the periodic table and verifying the predictions through experimentation.
Electron Configuration
SB3: Students develop an understanding of the interactions between matter and energy, including physical, chemical, and nuclear changes, and the effects of these interactions on physical systems.
SB3.1: predicting how an atom can interact with other atoms based on its electron configuration and verifying the results.
Electron Configuration
SB4: Students develop an understanding of motions, forces, their characteristics and relationships, and natural forces and their effects.
SB4.1: conducting an experiment to demonstrate that when one thing exerts a force on another, an equal amount of force is exerted back on it.
Fan Cart Physics
SB4.2: conducting an experiment to explore the relationship between magnetic forces and electric forces to show that they can be thought of as different aspects of a single electromagnetic force (e.g., generators and motors).
Electromagnetic Induction
Magnetic Induction
SC1: Students develop an understanding of how science explains changes in life forms over time, including genetics, heredity, the process of natural selection, and biological evolution.
SC1.2: researching how the processes of natural selection cause changes in species over time.
Evolution: Mutation and Selection
Rainfall and Bird Beaks - Metric
SC2: Students develop an understanding of the structure, function, behavior, development, life cycles, and diversity of living organisms.
SC2.1: describing the structure-function relationship
Digestive System
SC2.3: describing the functions and interdependencies of the organs within the immune system and within the endocrine system.
Digestive System
SC3: Students develop an understanding that all organisms are linked to each other and their physical environments through the transfer and transformation of matter and energy.
SC3.2: analyze the potential impacts of changes (e.g., climate change, habitat loss/gain, cataclysms, human activities) within an ecosystem.
Coral Reefs 1 - Abiotic Factors
Coral Reefs 2 - Biotic Factors
SD2: Students develop an understanding of the origins, ongoing processes, and forces that shape the structure, composition, and physical history of the Earth.
SD2.2: describing how the theory of plate tectonics explains the dynamic nature of its surface.
Plate Tectonics
SD3: Students develop an understanding of the cyclical changes controlled by energy from the sun and by Earth's position and motion in our solar system.
SD3.1: describing causes, effects, preventions, and mitigations of human impact on climate.
