1 CPO Science Foundations of Physics c2016 and the NGSS It is no coincidence that the performance expectations in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are all action-based. The NGSS champion the idea that science content cannot be separated from science practices and crosscutting concepts. CPO Science Foundations of Physics c2016 is committed to that same philosophy. The result is a program that starts with active investigations and ends with students possessing in-depth understanding of key science concepts and well-honed science and engineering skills. Mastering science comes from doing science. CPO Science provides educators with the tools they need to help their students not only meet the NGSS performance expectations, but exceed them. With abundant support and foundational content at their fingertips, educators can make whatever instructional decisions are necessary to ensure the success of all students.

Students can display or present their findings orally to their class. Inv Temperature and the Phases of Matter pp Students predict, observe and then explain what happens to the temperature of a cetyl alcohol as it changes phase. Students create and analyze the heating and cooling curves for cetyl alcohol, and determine the melting/freezing point.

Inv Properties of Liquids and Fluids pp Students demonstrate how the movement of a fluid creates pressure differences. Students build a device for measuring the speed of moving air, then use Bernoulli s equation to determine the speed of the moving air from a pressure difference. Inv Properties of Gases pp Students measure the mass of a volume of a sample of air and determine the relationship between mass, density, and pressure for their sample. Students model the relationship between pressure and temperature for a sample of air. Cont d on next page Page 25 of 60

27 HS Energy Students who demonstrate understanding can: HS Physics HS-PS3-1. Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. *[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on explaining the meaning of mathematical expressions used in the model.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to basic algebraic expressions or computations; to systems of two or three components; and to thermal energy, kinetic energy, and/or the energies in gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields.] Ch1 The Science of Physics pp2-26. Students use the ideas of energy and electric current to explain how a battery lights a bulb, how there can be many forces acting on an object that is not moving, and the physical differences, other than color, between blue light and red light. Students give examples of an oscillator and a wave. Students distinguish between hot matter and cold matter and between matter and energy. Ch10 Work and Energy pp Student calculate the work done in joules for situations involving force and distance. Give examples of energy and transformation of energy from one form to another. Calculate potential and kinetic energy. Apply the law of energy conservation to systems involving potential and kinetic energy.

Students give examples, sketch energy flow diagrams and calculate power as it pertains technological, natural, and biological systems. Inv. 1.1 Physics and Energy pp1-2 Students charge and discharge a capacitor, which is like a battery and then investigate how quickly a battery gains or loses energy.

That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system s total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms. *Online Student Section Review 1.1 *Online Student Problem Set 1 29 Ch1 Assessment Vocabulary #15, 17, 24-26; 30 Concept #7, 13, 18, Problem #1, #6 225 Calculate the efficiency of a rubber band sidebar practice Work and Energy, Part Efficiency, Part 3 PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer Systems and System Models Models can be used to predict the behavior of a system, but these predictions have limited precision and reliability due to the assumptions and approximations inherent in models Ch11 Connection: Energy from Ocean Tides Ch11 Assessment Concept #3; 241 Concept #14, 15; 242 Concept #9 260 Ch12 Assessment Concept#9 282 Ch13 Assessment Problem # Ch14 Connection: Freak Waves 609 Ch28 Assessment Vocabulary # Ch29 Assessment Vocabulary # Machines and Mechanical Energy, Part Work and Energy, Part Efficiency, Part Energy and Power, Part 2 Page 28 of 60
