Science

Sub Categories or Standards:
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Scientific Testing (Investigating and Modeling): Demonstrate safe and ethical procedures (e.g., use and care of technology, materials, organisms) and behavior in all science inquiry.
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Scientific Testing (Investigating and Modeling): Record observations, notes, sketches, questions, and ideas using tools such as journals, charts, graphs, and computers.
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Analysis, Conclusions, and Refinements: Interpret data that show a variety of possible relationships between variables, including positive relationship, negative relationship, or no relationship
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Analysis, Conclusions and Refinements: Evaluate whether investigational data support or do not support the proposed hypothesis.
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Analysis, Conclusions and Refinements: Evaluate the design of an investigation to identify possible sources of procedural error, including sample size, trials, controls and analyses.
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Communication: Produce graphs that communicate data.
  • INQUIRY PROCESS: Communication: Communicate results clearly and logically.
  • SCIENCE IN PERSONAL AND SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES: Science and Technology in Society: Analyze the costs, benefits, and risks of various ways of dealing with the following needs or problems (various forms of alternative energy, storage of nuclear waste, abandoned mines, greenhouse gases, hazardous wastes)
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Structure and Properties of Matter: Describe substances based on their chemical properties.
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Structure and Properties of Matter: Predict properties of elements and compounds using trends of the periodic table (e.g., metals, non-metals, bonding – ionic/covalent).
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Structure and Properties of Matter: Describe the properties of electric charge and the conservation of electric charge.
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Structure and Properties of Matter: Describe the following features and components of the atom (protons, neutrons, electrons, mass, number and type of particles, structure, organization
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Structure and Properties of Matter: Explain the details of atomic structure (e.g., electron configuration, energy levels, isotopes).
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Conservation of Energy and Increase in Disorder: Describe the following ways in which energy is stored in a system: (mechanical, electrical, chemical, nuclear)
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Conservation of Energy and Increase in Disorder: Describe various ways in which energy is transferred from one system to another (e.g., mechanical contact, thermal conduction, electromagnetic radiation.)
  • PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Interactions of Energy and Matter: Describe the following characteristics of waves (wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude)
