Chapter 1: Scientific Inquiry

Standards:
Process Standard 1: Observe and Measure
1. Identify qualitative and quantitative changes in cells, organisms, populations, and ecosystems given conditions (e.g.,
temperature, mass, volume, time, position, length, quantity) before, during, and after an event.
2. Use appropriate tools with accuracy and precision (e.g., metric ruler, graduated cylinder, thermometer, balances,
spring scales, stopwatches) when measuring objects and/or events.
3. Use appropriate International System of Units (SI) (i.e., grams, meters, liters, degrees Celsius, and seconds) and SI
prefixes (i.e., micro-, milli-, centi-, and kilo-) when measuring objects and/or events.
Process Standard 3: Experimental Design
1. Identify the independent variables, dependent variables, controlled variables, and control set-up in an experiment.
2. Use mathematics to show relationships within a given set of observations.
3. Identify a hypothesis for a given problem in physical science investigations.
4. Recognize potential hazards and practice safety procedures in all physical science activities.
Process Standard 4: Interpret and Communicate
1. Select appropriate predictions based on previously observed patterns of evidence.
2. Interpret data tables, line, bar, trend, and/or circle graphs from existing science research or student experiments.
Process Standard 5: Model
1. Interpret a model which explains a given set of observations.
2. Select predictions based on models, and when appropriate, apply mathematical reasoning to make accurate
predictions.
3. Compare a given model to the physical world.

Key Terms and Topics:

scientific method (SEE pg. 8 and foldable), hypothesis, experiment, control, independent variable,
dependent variable, constant, theory, quantitative data, qualitative data, volume, mass, density, bar graph,

Chapter 3: Motion
Standards:
Standard 3: Motion and Forces The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and
speed. A change in motion occurs as a result of a net force.
1. Objects change their motion only due to a net force. Laws of motion are used to determine the effects of forces on
the motion of objects. Gravitation is a universal force that each object exerts on any other object.

Key Terms and Topics:

displacement, vector, speed, average speed, velocity, acceleration, positive acceleration, negative
acceleration, distance-time graph, velocity-time graph

Chapter 3.3 and 4: Force

Standards:

Standard 3: Motion and Forces The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and
speed. A change in motion occurs as a result of a net force.
1. Objects change their motion only due to a net force. Laws of motion are used to determine the effects of forces on
the motion of objects. Gravitation is a universal force that each object exerts on any other object.

Key Terms:
force, net force, balanced vs. unbalanced, friction, air resistance, first law of motion, inertia, second law of
motion, third law of motion, gravity, weight, centripetal acceleration and force, momentum, law of
conservation of momentum

Chapter 5 and 6.1: Energy

Standards:
Standard 4: Interactions of Energy and Matter Energy can be transferred or transformed but never destroyed.
1. Energy can be classified as kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (e.g., positional, elastic, chemical,
nuclear).

Key Terms:
energy, kinetic energy, joule, potential energy, gravitational potential energy, all forms of energy,
mechanical energy, law of conservation of energy, work, power
