Grade
1: Forces and Motion – What makes objects move
the way they do?
1.1 - The sun appears to move across the sky in the same way
every day, but its path changes gradually over the
seasons.
An object’s position can be
described by locating it relative to another object or the
background.
An object’s motion can be
described by tracing and measuring its position over time.
Grade
2: Properties of Matter – How does the structure
of matter affect the properties and uses of materials?
2.1 - Materials can be classified as solid, liquid or gas
based on their observable properties.
Solids tend to maintain their own
shapes, while liquids tend to assume the shapes of their
containers, and gases fill their containers fully.
Grade 3: Properties of
Matter – How does the structure of matter affect the
properties and uses of materials?
3.1 - Materials have properties that can be identified and
described through the use of simple tests.
Heating and cooling cause changes
in some of the properties of materials.
Grade
4: Forces and Motion – What makes objects move
the way they do?
4.1 - The position and motion of objects can be changed by
pushing or pulling.
The size of the change in an object’s
motion is related to the strength of the push or pull.
The more massive an object is, the
less effect a given force will have on its motion.
Grade
5: Earth in the Solar System – How does the
position of Earth in the solar system affect conditions on
our planet?
5.3 - Most objects in the solar system are in a regular and
predictable motion.
The positions of the Earth and moon
relative to the sun explain the cycles of day and night, and
the monthly moon phases.
Grade
6: Properties of Matter – How does the structure
of matter affect the properties and uses of materials?
6.1 - Materials can be classified as pure substances or
mixtures, depending on their chemical and physical
properties.
Mixtures are made of combinations
of elements and/or compounds, and they can be separated by
using a variety of physical means.
Pure substances can be either
elements or compounds, and they cannot be broken down by
physical means.
Grade 7: Energy Transfer
and Transformations – What is the role of energy in
our world?
7.1 - Energy provides the ability to do work and can exist
in many forms.
Work is the process of making objects move through the
application of force.
Energy can be stored in many forms and can be transformed
into the energy of motion.
Grade
8: Forces and Motion – What makes objects move
the way they do?
8.1 - An object’s inertia causes it to continue moving
the way it is moving unless it is acted upon by a force to
change its motion.
The motion of an object can be
described by its position, direction of motion and speed.
An unbalanced force acting on an
object changes its speed and/or direction of motion.
Objects moving in circles must
experience force acting toward the center.
Grade
8: Earth in the Solar System – How does the
position of Earth in the solar system affect conditions on
our planet?
8.3 - The solar system is composed of planets and other
objects that orbit the sun.
Gravity is the force that governs
the motions of objects in the solar system.
The motion of the Earth and moon
relative to the sun causes daily, monthly and yearly cycles
on Earth.
