Benchmark(s) of this lesson aligns to: __ 1. Explain the ways in which the processes of technological design respond to the needs of society. __ 2. Explain that science and technology are interdependent. __ 3. Participate in and apply the processes of scientific investigation to create models and to design, conduct, evaluate and communicate the results of these investigations. __ 4. Explain that scientific knowledge must be based on evidence, be predictive, logical, subject to modification and limited to the natural world. __ 5. Explain how scientific inquiry is guided by knowledge, observations, ideas and questions. __ 6. Describe the ethical practices and guidelines in which science operates. __ 7. Recognize that scientific literacy is part of being a knowledgeable citizen. __ 8. Explain how evidence from stars and other celestial objects provide information about the processes that cause changes in the composition and scale of the physical universe __ 9. Explain that many processes occur in patterns within the Earth’s systems. __ 10. Explain the 4.5 billion year history of the Earth and the 4 billion-year-history of the life on Earth based on observable scientific evidence in the geologic record. __ 11. Describe the finite nature of Earth’s resources and those human activities that can conserve or deplete Earth’s resources. __ 12. Explain the processes that move and shape Earth’s surface. __ 13. Summarize the historical development of scientific theories and ideas, and describe emerging issues in the study of Earth and space sciences. __ 14. Describe that matter is made of minute particles called atoms and atoms are comprised of even smaller components. Explain the structure and properties of atoms. __ 15. Explain how atoms react with each other to form other substances and how molecules react with each other or other atoms to form even different substances. __ 16. Describe the identifiable physical properties of substances and how changes in these properties can occur without changing the chemical nature of the substance. __ 17. Explain the movement of objects by applying Newton’s three laws of motion. __ 18. Demonstrate that energy can be considered to be either kinetic or potential __ 19. Explain how energy may change form or be redistributed but the total quantity of energy is conserved. __ 20. Demonstrate that waves have energy and waves can transfer energy when they interact with matter. __ 21. Trace the historical development of scientific theories and ideas, and describe emerging issues in the study of physical sciences.
