Matter and Its InteractionsPS1

  • 1

    Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.C-PS1-1

  • 2

    Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties. C-PS1-2

  • 3

    Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at a bulk scale to infer the strength of various forces between particles. C-PS1-3

  • 4

    Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy. C-PS1-4

  • 5

    Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. C-PS1-5

  • 6

    Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.C-PS1-6

  • 7

    Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.C-PS1-7

  • 8

    Develop models to illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay. C-PS1-8

Motion and Stability: Forces and InteractionsPS2

  • 6

    Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular structure determines the functioning of designed materials. C-PS2-6

EnergyPS3

  • 4

    Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperatures are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics). C-PS3-4

Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information TransferPS4

  • 4

    Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter. C-PS4-4

  • 5

    Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of the electromagnetic spectrum to cause matter to transmit and capture information and energy.C-PS4-5
