• Physical Science
  • Position and motion of objects
    • An object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring its position over time. (velocity)
  • Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism
    • Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects.
    • Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.
    • Magnets attract and repel each other and certain kinds of other materials.
  • Motion and Forces
    • Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. (9-12)
    • The electric force is a universal force that exists between any two charged objects. (9-12)
    • Opposite charges attract while like charges repel. (9-12)
    • Between any two charged particles, electric force is vastly greater than the gravitational force. (9-12)
    • Most observable forces such as those exerted by a coiled spring (elasticity) or friction may be traced to electric forces acting between atoms and molecules. (9-12)
    • Electricity and magnetism are two aspects of a single electromagnetic force. (9-12)
    • Moving electric charges produce magnetic forces, and moving magnets produce electric forces. (9-12)
    • The effects of moving electric charges help students to understand electric motors and generators. (9-12) (Electricity)
  • Interactions of energy and matter
    • Electromagnetic waves result when a charged object is accelerated or decelerated. (9-12)
    • The energy of electromagnetic waves is carried in packets whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the wavelength. (9-12)
    • In some materials, such as metals, electrons flow easily, whereas in insulating materials such as glass they can hardly flow at all. (9-12)
    • At low temperatures some materials become superconductors and offer no resistance to the flow of electrons. (9-12)

• Science as Inquiry
  • Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
    • Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications. (9-12)
  • Understandings about scientific inquiry
    • Types of investigations include describing objects, events, and organisms; classifying them; and doing a fair test (experimenting).

• Process Standards for Professional Development
  • Learning
    • Build on the teacher's current science understanding, ability, and attitudes. (NSES)
