1 CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS OVERVIEW- NGSS Performance Expectation MS-PS1-1: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. NGPEP11 DCI: Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. NGPS1A1 DCI: Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals). NGPS1A5 SEP: Develop and use a model to predict and/or describe phenomena. NGSPDM1 SEP: [Not specified for PE but also applies:] Develop a model to describe unobservable mechanisms. NGSPDM2 CCC: Time, space, and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small. NGCCSP2 Performance Expectation MS-PS1-3: Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. NGPEP13 DCI: Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. NGPS1A2 DCI: 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. NGPS1B1 SEP: Gather, read, and synthesize information from multiple appropriate sources and assess the credibility, accuracy, and possible bias of each publication and methods used, and describe how they are supported or not supported by evidence. NGSPOE2 CCC: Structures can be designed to serve particular functions by taking into account properties of different materials, and how materials can be shaped and used. NGCCSF2 CCC: advances have led to important discoveries in virtually every field of science, and scientific discoveries have led to the development of entire industries and engineered systems NGCCCO1 [ Applications of : Interdependence of, and Technology] CCC: The uses of technologies and any limitations on their use are driven by individual or societal needs, desires, and values; by the findings of scientific research; and by differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions. Thus, technology use varies from region to region and over time. NGCCCO2 [ Applications of : Influence of, and Technology on Society and the Natural World]

2 Performance Expectation MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. NGPEP14 DCI: Gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other. NGPS1A3 DCI: In a liquid, the molecules are constantly in contact with others; in a gas, they are widely spaced except when they happen to collide. In a solid, atoms are closely spaced and may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations. NGPS1A4 DCI: The changes of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described and predicted using these models of matter. NGPS1A6 Secondary DCI: The term heat as used in everyday language refers both to thermal energy (the motion of atoms or molecules within a substance) and the transfer of that thermal energy from one object to another. In science, heat is used only for this second meaning; it refers to the energy transferred due to the temperature difference between two objects. NGPS3A4 Secondary DCI: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter. The relationship between the temperature and the total energy of a system depends on the types, states, and amounts of matter present. NGPS3A3 SEP: Develop and use a model to predict and/or describe phenomena. NGSPDM1 SEP: [Not specified in PE but also applies:] Develop a model to describe unobservable mechanisms. NGSPDM2 CCC: Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems. NGCCCE1 Note: Also helps to build toward the following PE assessed in the Chemical Reactions Unit: MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Any time we have NGPS1A2 or NGPS1B1 in the 1-3 pathway, we are also building toward 1-2. Not sure how to handle this. SEP for 1-2 is, which we also do. CCC is patterns, which we do less, at least officially. NOTE: Consider adding Patterns CCC Pathways 1-1: 2, 6, 7, 11, : 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, : 8, 9, 10
