15 Closer Look at a Performance Expectation MS-PS1 Matter and Its Interactions Students who demonstrate understanding can: MS-PS1-d. Develop molecular models of reactants and products to support the explanation that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved in a chemical reaction. [Clarification Statement: Models can include physical models and drawings that represent atoms rather than symbols. The focus is on law of conservation of matter.] [Assessment Boundary: The use of atomic masses is not required. Balancing symbolic equations (e.g. N2 + H2 -> NH3) is not required.] The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Science and Engineering Practices Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concepts 15 Developing and Using Models Modeling in 6 8 builds on K 5 and progresses to developing, using and revising models to support explanations, describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design systems. Use and/or develop models to predict, describe, support explanation, and/or collect data to test ideas about phenomena in natural or designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs, and those at unobservable scales. (MS-PS1-a), (MS-PS1-c), (MS-PS1-d) Connections to Nature of Science Science Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena Laws are regularities or mathematical descriptions of natural phenomena. (MS-PS1-d) PS1.B: Chemical Reactions Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. In a chemical process, the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants. (MS-PS1-d), ( MS-PS1-e), (MS-PS1-f) The total number of each type of atom is conserved, and thus the mass does not change. (MS-PS1-d) Energy and Matter Matter is conserved because atoms are conserved in physical and chemical processes. (MS-PS1-d) Note: Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed. They are not instructional strategies or objectives for a lesson.

21 Which grade level is most relevant to you? A. K 2 B. 3 5 C. 6 8 D E. Post Secondary

22 Framework/NGSS Structure Three elements are blended: Disciplinary Core Ideas Science and Engineering Practices Crosscutting Concepts

23 Crosscutting Concepts Patterns. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation. Scale, proportion, and quantity. Systems and system models. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation. Structure and function. Stability and change.

24 Why are systems and system models so important? All interactions involve at least 2 objects a system The universe is big, and we only study small bits of it at a time

25 A Physicist s Cow

26 How comfortable are you with the notion of systems and system models? A. I avoid it B. Know it when I see it C. Pretty comfortable D. It flows like water

27 What are the features of a system? Boundaries Components Flows and Interactions

28 Boundaries

32 Explicit definition by students of a system s boundaries is part of the 9 12 grade band

33 Determining a system s boundaries What questions do you have?

34 All systems have Components

35

36 Components within components

37 Components and emergent behaviors

38 Components and emergent behaviors

39 Students learn that systems have parts in K 2, they discuss system components in 3 5, and subsystems in 6 8

40 What do you think are some of the challenges in getting students to take a systems approach?

41 Flows in Systems

42 Flows in Systems

43 Flows in Systems

44 Flows in Systems is closely related to Energy and Matter: Flows, Cycles, and Conservation

45 What questions do you have?

46 System Models

47 Conceptual System Model

48 A Physical System Model
