INTERMEDIATE SCIENCE PHYSICAL SETTING KEY IDEAS AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

1. The Earth and celestial phenomena are described by relative motion and perspective 2. Many of the phenomena that we observe on Earth involve interactions among the elements 3. Matter is made up of particles 4. Energy exists in many forms **5. Energy and matter interact**
 *  explain daily, monthly, and seasonal changes on earth
 * explain how the atmosphere, hydroshpere, and lithosphere interact, evolve, and change
 * describe volcano and earthquake patterns, the rock cycle, and weather and climate changes
 * observe and describe properties of materials such as density, conductivity and solubility
 * distinguish between chemical and physical changes
 * develop their own mental models tp explain common chemical reactions and changes in states of matter
 * describe the sources and identify the transformations of energy observed in everyday life
 * observe and describe heating and cooling events
 * observe and describe energy changes as related to chemical reations
 * observe and describe the properties of sound, light, magnetism, and electricity
 * describe situations that support the principle of conservation of energy
 * describe different patterns of motion of objects
 * observe, describe, and compare effects of forces on the motion of objects
