Scientific Inquiry and Application
- Identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations
- Design & conduct a scientific investigation
- Use appropriate mathematics, tools and techniques to gather data and information
- Analyze and interpret data
- Develop descriptions, models, explanations, and predictions
- Communicate scientific procedures & explanations
Physical Science
- All matter is made up of small particles called atoms
- Changes of state are explained by a model of matter composed of atoms and/or molecules that are in motion
- There are two categories of energy: kinetic and potential
- An objects motion can be described by its speed and direction in which it is moving
Life Science
- Cells are the fundamental unit of life
- All cells come from pre-existing cells
- Cells carry on specific functions that sustain life
- Living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure & function
Earth & Space Science
- Minerals have specific, quantifiable properties
- Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks have unique characteristics that can be used for identification and/or classification
- Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks form in different ways
- Soil is unconsolidated material that contains nutrient matter & weathered rock
- Rocks, minerals, and soils have common practical uses
