Each of the following links drills down to a page with the specific standards indicated:

Physical Science

SC 6.1: Describes the structure and physical properties of the atom and its subatomic particles

SC 6.2: Describes ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds

SC 6.3: Understands how chemical formulas and chemical reactions are written and balanced including acid/base reactions and oxidation/reduction reactions

SC 6.4: Describe how kinetic energy relates to the phases of matter (e.g., solid, liquid, gas, and plasma)

SC 6.5: Describes and explains Newton’s Law of Motion and their effect on the physical properties of matter related to acceleration, inertia, force/pressure, momentum, resistance and gravity

SC 6.6: Understands the solar, chemical, radiant, convection, and conduction of energy

SC 6.7: Understands the controls and measures of mechanical energy, electricity and magnetism

SC 6.8: Explores the historical and current contributions of Physical Scientists

Scientific Process

SC 6.9: Developing Questions: Forms a testable hypothesis from a question

SC 6.10: Designing Investigations: Designs a reproducible investigation with predictions. Refines experimental procedures to improve accuracy

SC 6.11: Conducting Investigations: Conducts a self-designed investigation that demonstrates safe use of equipment. Works in a systematic manner; keeps neat, accurate notes.

SC 6.12: Analyzing Data: Students will describe, classify, infer, make generalizations and develop models

SC 6.13: [[Communicating Results: Use a standard lab report format including abstract, introduction, methods and materials, results, and conclusion. Gives explanations to an audience supported by evidence and accounts for unexpected or odd data (e.g., class presentation or science fair)]]
