Other Arizona Science sets

Physical Sciences

  • 1.

    Analyze and interpret data to show that changes in states of matter are caused by different rates of movement of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases (Kinetic Theory).6.P1U1.1

  • 2.

    Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate that variations in temperature and/or pressure affect changes in state of matter.6.P1U1.2

  • 3.

    Develop and use models to represent that matter is made up of smaller particles called atoms.6.P1U1.3

  • 4.

    Develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance.6.P2U1.4

  • 5.

    Analyze how humans use technology to store (potential) and/or use (kinetic) energy.6.P4U2.5

Earth and Space Sciences

  • 6.

    Investigate and construct an explanation demonstrating that radiation from the Sun provides energy and is absorbed to warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere.6.E1U1.6

  • 7.

    Use ratios and proportions to analyze and interpret data related to scale, properties, and relationships among objects in our solar system.6.E2U1.7

  • 8.

    Develop and use models to explain how constellations and other night sky patterns appear to move due to Earth's rotation and revolution.6.E2U1.8

  • 9.

    Develop and use models to construct an explanation of how eclipses, moon phases, and tides occur within the Sun-Earth-Moon system.6.E2U1.9

  • 10.

    Use a model to show how the tilt of Earth's axis causes variations in the length of the day and gives rise to seasons.6.E2U1.10

Life Sciences

  • 11.

    Use evidence to construct an argument regarding the impact of human activities on the environment and how they positively and negatively affect the competition for energy and resources in ecosystems.6.L2U3.11

  • 12.

    Engage in argument from evidence to support a claim about the factors that cause species to change and how humans can impact those factors.6.L2U3.12

  • 13.

    Develop and use models to demonstrate the interdependence of organisms and their environment including biotic and abiotic factors.6.L2U1.13

  • 14.

    Construct a model that shows the cycling of matter and flow of energy in ecosystems.6.L2U1.14
