Matter and its Interactions

A
Structure and Properties of MatterPS1.A
1. a
  Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties.2-PS1-1
2. b
  Different properties are suited to different purposes.2- PS1-2
3. c
  A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces.2-PS1-3
B
Chemical ReactionsPS1.B
1. a
  Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not2-PS1-4

A
Interdependent Relationships in EcosystemsLS2.A
1. a
  Plants depend on water and light to grow2-LS2-1
2. b
  Plants depend on animals for pollination or to move their seeds around.2-LS2-2
B
Developing Possible SolutionsETS1.B
1. a
  Designs can be conveyed through sketches, drawings, or physical models. These representations are useful in communicating ideas for a problem’s solutions to other people. ETS1.B-1

D
Biodiversity and HumansLS4.D
1. a
  There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water2-LS4-1

C
The History of Planet EarthESS1.C
1. a
  Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a time period much longer than one can observe2-ESS1-1

A
Earth Materials and SystemsESS2.B
1. a
  Wind and water can change the shape of the land. 2-ESS2- 2
B
Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System InteractionsESS2.C
1. a
  Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area.2-ESS2-3
C
The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface ProcessesESS2.C
1. a
  Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water exists as solid ice and in liquid form.2-ESS2-3
C
Optimizing the Design SolutionETS1.C
1. a
  Because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designsETS1.C-1

A
Defining and Delimiting Engineering ProblemsETS1.A
1. a
  A situation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering.K-2-ETS1-1.1
2. b
  Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems.K-2-ETS1-1.2
3. c
  Before beginning to design a solution, it is important to clearly understand the problem.K-2-ETS1-1.3
B
Developing Possible SolutionsETS1.B
1. a
  Designs can be conveyed through sketches, drawings, or physical models. These representations are useful in communicating ideas for a problem’s solutions to other people.K-2-ETS1.4
C
Optimizing the Design SolutionETS1.C
1. a
  Because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs.(K-2-ETS1.5
