• Physical Science
  • Structure of atoms
    • The components of atoms have measurable properties, such as mass and electrical charge. (9-12)
    • Each atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. (9-12)
    • The electric force between the nucleus and electrons holds the atom together. (9-12)
    • The atom's nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, which are much more massive than electrons. (9-12)
  • Motion and Forces
    • 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)
    • 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)

• Science as Inquiry
  • 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)
