10 NJCCCS: NJCCCS: NJCCCS: NJCCCS: STANDARD 5.1: All students will understand that science is both a body of knowledge and an evidencebased, model-building enterprise that continually extends, refines, and revises knowledge. The four Science Practices strands encompass the knowledge and reasoning skills that students must acquire to be proficient in science. Strand A:Understand Scientific Explanations: Students understand core concepts and principles of science and use measurement and observation tools to assist in categorizing, representing, and interpreting the natural and designed world A.1. Core scientific concepts and principles represent the conceptual basis for model-building and facilitate the generation of new and productive questions A.2. Results of observation and measurement can be used to build conceptual-based models and to search for core explanations. STANDARD 5.2 Physical Science All students will understand that physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science. Strand A: Properties of Matter: All objects and substances in the natural world are composed of matter. Matter has two fundamental properties: matter takes up space, and matter has inertia A.1. All matter is made of atoms. Matter made of only one type of atom is called an element A.2. All substances are composed of one or more of approximately 100 elements A.3. Properties of solids, liquids, and gases are explained by a model of matter as composed of tiny particles (atoms) in motion. STANDARD 5.2 Physical Science All students will understand that physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science. Strand A. Properties of Matter: All objects and substances in the natural world are composed of matter. Matter has two fundamental properties: matter takes up space, and matter has inertia C.1. A tiny fraction of the light energy from the Sun reaches Earth. Light energy from the Sun is Earth s primary source of energy, heating Earth surfaces and providing the energy that results in wind, ocean currents, and storms C.2. Energy is transferred from place to place. Light energy can be thought of as traveling in rays. Thermal energy travels via conduction and convection. STANDARD 5.3 Life Science: All students will understand that life science principles are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of the complexity, diversity, and interconnectedness of life on Earth. Order in natural systems arises in accordance with rules that govern the physical world, and the order of natural systems can be modeled and predicted through the use of mathematics C.1. Symbiotic interactions among organisms of different species can be classified as: Producer/consumer Predator/prey Parasite/host Scavenger/prey Decomposer/prey E.1. Individual organisms with certain traits are more likely than others to survive and have offspring in particular environments. The advantages or disadvantages of specific characteristics can change

Science is a practice in which an established body of knowledge is continually revised, refined, and extended C.1. Scientific reasoning is used to support scientific conclusions C.2. Predictions and explanations are revised to account more completely for available evidence A.4. The Periodic Table organizes the elements into families of elements with similar properties A.5. Elements are a class of substances composed of a single kind of atom. Compounds are substances that are chemically formed and have physical and chemical properties that differ from the reacting substances A.6. Substances are classified according to their physical and chemical properties. Metals are a class of elements that exhibit physical properties, such as conductivity, and chemical properties, such as producing salts when combined with nonmetals A.7. Substances are classified according to their physical and chemical properties. Acids are a class of compounds that exhibit common chemical properties, including a sour taste, characteristic color changes with litmus and other acid/base indicators, and the tendency to react with bases to produce a D.1. When energy is transferred from one system to another, the quantity of energy before transfer equals the quantity of energy after transfer. As an object falls, its potential energy decreases as its speed, and consequently its kinetic energy, increases. While an object is falling, some of the object s kinetic energy is transferred to the medium through which it falls, setting the medium into motion and heating it D.2. Nuclear reactions take place in the Sun. In plants, light energy from the Sun is transferred to oxygen and carbon compounds, which in combination, have chemical potential energy (photosynthesis) E.1. An object is in motion when its position is changing. The speed of an object is defined by how far it travels divided by the amount of time it took to travel that far E.2. Forces have magnitude and direction. Forces can be added. The net force on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on the when the environment in which they exist changes. Extinction of a species occurs when the environment changes and the characteristics of a species are insufficient to allow survival E.2. Anatomical evidence supports evolution and provides additional detail about the sequence of branching of various lines of descent. STANDARD 5.4: Earth Systems Science: All students will understand that Earth operates as a set of complex, dynamic, and interconnected systems, and is a part of the all-encompassing system of the universe B.1. Today s planet is very different than early Earth. Evidence for one-celled forms of life (bacteria) extends back more than 3.5 billion years B.2. Fossils provide evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed. The principle of Uniformitarianism makes possible the interpretation of Earth s history. The same Earth processes that occurred in the

Science involves pract peers, such as partner talk, whole-group discussions, and small-group work D.2. Science involves practicing productive social interactions with peers, such as partner talk, whole-group discussions, and small-group work D.3. Instruments of measurement can be used to safely gather accurate information for making scientific comparisons of objects and events STANDARD 5.2: Physical Science: All students will understand that physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science. Strand A: Properties of Matter: All objects and salt and water B.1. When substances undergo chemical change, the number and kinds of atoms in the reactants are the same as the number and kinds of atoms in the products. The mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the products B.2. Chemical changes can occur when two substances, elements or compounds react and produce one or more different substances. The physical and chemical properties of the products are different from those of the reacting substances. object. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion at constant velocity will continue at the same velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force. STANDARD 5.4: Earth Systems Science: All students will understand that Earth operates as a set of complex, dynamic, and interconnected systems, and is a part of the all-encompassing system of the universe A.1. The relative positions and motions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon result in the phases of the Moon, eclipses, and the daily and monthly cycle of tides A.2. Earth s tilt, rotation, and revolution around the Sun cause changes in the height and duration of the Sun in the sky. These factors combine to explain the changes in the length of the day and seasons A.3. Gravitation is a universal attractive force by which objects with mass attract one another. The gravitational force between two objects is past occur today G.2. Investigations of environmental issues address underlying scientific causes and may inform possible solutions.

Chemical changes can occur when two substances, elements, or compounds react and produce one or more different substances. The proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects A.4. The regular and predictable motion of objects in the solar system (Kepler s Laws) is explained by gravitational forces C.1.
