• Physical Science
  • Position and motion of objects
    • An object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring its position over time. (velocity) (K-4)
    • Sound is produced by vibrating objects. (K-4)
  • Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism
    • Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object. (K-4)
    • Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. (K-4)
  • Transfer of Energy
    • Light interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction), absorption, or scattering (including reflection). To see an object, light from that object—emitted by or scattered from it—must enter the eye. (5-8) (5-8)
    • To see an object, light from that object--emitted by or scattered from it--must enter the eye.
    • In most chemical and nuclear reactions, energy is transferred into or out of a system. (5-8)
  • Motion and Forces
    • Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. (9-12)
    • Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. (9-12)
    • Gravitation is a universal force that each mass exerts on any other mass. (9-12)
    • Motion can be measured and represented on a graph.
  • Conservation of energy and increase in disorder
    • Energy can be transferred by collisions in chemical and nuclear reactions, by light waves and other radiations, and in many other ways. (9-12)
    • All energy can be considered to be either kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion; potential energy, which depends on relative position; or energy contained by a field, such as electromagnetic waves. (9-12)
  • Interactions of energy and matter
    • Waves, including sound and seismic waves, waves on water, and light waves, have energy and can transfer energy when they interact with matter. (9-12)
    • The energy of electromagnetic waves is carried in packets whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the wavelength. (9-12)

• Science as Inquiry
  • Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
    • Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
    • Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations.
    • Use mathematics in all aspects of scientific inquiry.
  • Understandings about scientific inquiry
    • In presenting data, graphs are used to convey comparisons or trends. (9-12)
    • Mathematical tools and models guide and improve the posing of questions, gathering data, constructing explanations and communicating results. (9-12)

• History and Nature of Science
  • Science as a human endeavor
    • Scientists are influenced by societal, cultural, and personal beliefs and ways of viewing the world. (9-12)

• Teaching Standards
  • Teachers of science plan an inquiry-based science program for their students.
    • Select science content and adapt and design curricula to meet the interests, knowledge, understanding, abilities, and experiences of students.
  • Teachers provide students with the time, space, and resources needed to learn science.
    • Make the available science tools, materials, media, and technological resources accessible to students.
