 Curriculum
is based on state and national content standards and what a student might learn
while attending school in the United States. |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Kindergarten |
Objects can be described in terms of materials
Objects can be described in terms of physical properties
Water can be a liquid or a solid
Water can evaporate |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 1 |
Solids, liquids, and gases have different properties
Substances can change when mixed, cooled, or heated |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 2 |
Position of an object can be described in relation to another object
Motion can be described by recording the change in position
Change how something is moving is by giving it a push or a pull
Tools and machines are used to apply pushes and pulls
Objects fall to the ground unless something holds them up
Magnets can be used to make some objects move
Sound is made by vibrating objects |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 3 |
Energy comes from the Sun to Earth in the form of light
Stored energy take many forms, such as food, fuel, and batteries
Machines and living things convert stored energy
Energy can be carried from one place to another by waves
Matter has three forms: solid, liquid, and gas
Evaporation and melting occur when objects are heated
Sunlight can be blocked to create shadows
Light is reflected from mirrors and other surfaces
Color of light striking an object affects the way the object is seen
An object is seen when light from the object enters the eye |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 4 |
Design and build simple series and parallel circuits
Build a simple compass and use it to detect magnetic effects
Electric currents produce magnetic fields
Role of electromagnets in the construction of electric devices
Electrically charged objects attract and repel each other
Magnets have two poles, north and south
Electrical energy can be converted to heat, light, and motion |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 5 |
|
None |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 6 |
Energy can be carried from one place to another
When fuel is consumed energy released becomes heat energy
Heat flows in solids by conduction
Heat flows in fluids by conduction and convection
Heat energy is also transferred between objects by radiation |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 7 |
Visible light is a small band within a very broad spectrum
For an object to be seen it must be detected by the eye
Light travels in straight lines if the medium does not change
Know how simple lenses are used
White light is a mixture of many wavelengths
Light can be reflected, refracted, transmitted, and absorbed
Angle of reflection of a light beam equals the angle of incidence |
|
|
|
Curriculum - Grade 8 |
Position is a reference point and a set of reference directions
Average speed is the distance traveled divided by the time
Solve problems involving distance, time, and average speed
The velocity of an object is both direction and speed of the object
Changes in velocity due to changes in speed, direction, or both
Interpret graphs of position for motion in a single direction
Force has both direction and magnitude
Cumulative effect of all the forces
Forces on an object are balanced
Identify two or more forces acting on a single object
Forces on an object are unbalanced
Greater the mass of an object the more force is needed
The role of gravity in forming and maintaining
Density is mass per unit volume
Calculate the density of substances
The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force
Predict whether an object will float or sink |
