Matter and Its Interactions
MS-PS1-1
Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
64 Lessons
MS-PS1-2
Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
101 Lessons
MS-PS1-3
Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.
14 Lessons
MS-PS1-4
Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
51 Lessons
MS-PS1-5
Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.
13 Lessons
MS-PS1-6
Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.*
2 Lessons
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
MS-PS2-1
Apply Newton's Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
22 Lessons
MS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
52 Lessons
MS-PS2-3
Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
6 Lessons
MS-PS2-4
Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects.
3 Lessons
MS-PS2-5
Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
2 Lessons
Energy
MS-PS3-1
Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object.
15 Lessons
MS-PS3-2
Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
13 Lessons
MS-PS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
19 Lessons
MS-PS3-4
Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
18 Lessons
MS-PS3-5
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the motion energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
34 Lessons
Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
MS-PS4-1
Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
5 Lessons
MS-PS4-2
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
19 Lessons
MS-PS4-3
Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals (sent as wave pulses) are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information.
