Standard 1

Students will examine the scientific view of the nature of matter.

Matter

•Matter is anything with mass and volume.

S8P1a. Distinguish between atoms and molecules.

• Atom – The smallest unit of matter, mostly empty space, has protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons make up the most mass inside the nucleus. Electrons orbit the nucleus.

elements–2. Nonmetals – right side, forms ions with

the metals.–3. Metalloids – staircase in the middle,

metal and nonmetal characteristics

S8P2b. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.

• Potential Energy – stored energy in an object’s position or chemical composition.

• Kinetic Energy – energy of motion

S8P2c. Compare and contrast the different forms of energy and their characteristics.

• Nuclear Energy – The splitting or joining of the nuclei of atoms.

Fission – splitting the atom

Fusion – joining atoms


• Thermal Energy – the total energy from movement of particles in matter.


• Light Energy – Light from the sun that travels to earth by electromagnetic waves.


• Electrical Energy – energy produced by movement of electrons.


• Mechanical Energy – the energy in a moving object.


• Sound Energy – energy from the vibration of particles in solids, liquids, and gases.


• Chemical Energy – stored in chemical composition of matter.

S8P2d. Describe how heat can be transferred through matter by the collision of atoms (conduction), or through space (radiation). In liquid or gas, currents will facilitate the transfer of heat (convection).

Conduction: Heat transfer by direct contact.ex. touching a hot stove

Radiation: Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves from the sun. Ex. Heat from a campfire

Convection: Heat rising. Ex. Heat felt from the hot pavement, heat over the stove

S8P3 – Students will investigate relationships between force, mass, and the motion of

objects.

S8P3a: Determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration

• Acceleration: change in velocity as it changes over time.

• Ex. A car speeds up, then slows down and stops at a red light.

• Velocity: Speed in a specific direction.

• S=d/t

• Ex. Mousetrap calculations

S8P3b: Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of

gravity, inertia, and friction.

• Unbalanced Forces – Changes the motion of an object.

• Balanced Forces – No change in the objects motion.

S8P3b: Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of

gravity, inertia, and friction.• Gravity – The force that objects exert on each

other because of their masses.

• Inertia – The resistance of an object to change its motion. Newton’s First Law.

• Friction – Force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact.

S8P3c. Demonstrate the effect of simple machines on work.

• Lever – Changes the direction of the force• Ex – hammer, crowbar


• Incline Plane – Spreads the work out over a larger distance.

• Ex. Ramp, ladder


• Pulley – changes the direction of the force.• Ex – crane, flag pole


• Wedge – changes the direction by decreasing the surface area.

• Ex. Knife blade, ax head


• Screw – changes the direction of the forces and spreads the force out over a larger area.

• Ex. – screw, drill bit


• Wheel and axle – spreads workout over a larger area.

• Ex. Turning plow, door knob

S8P4: Students will explore the wave nature of sound and electromagnetic radiation.

S8P4a: Identify the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.

• ElectromagneticWaves that travel through space from the sun – travel through a vacuum.

Examples: Visible light, microwaves, gamma rays,

• MechanicalWaves that must move through a medium (matter)

Example: sound

S8P4b: Describe how the behavior of light waves is manipulated causing reflection, refraction, diffraction,

absorption.

• Reflection: Waves bounce back.

• Refraction: Waves bend.

• Diffraction: Waves spread out around an object or opening.

• Absorption: Waves disappear into a medium.

S8P4c. Explain how the human eye sees objects and colors in terms of wavelength.

• How the eye works: An image is refracted through the cornea and lens, flips upside down, focuses on the retina which determines the color and image. The optic nerve carries the messages to the brain.

• ROYGBIV: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Red carries the least amount of energy with violet carrying the most amount of energy.

trough

S8P4f. Explain how the parts of a wave are affected by changes in amplitude and pitch.

• An increase in amplitude will cause an increase in energy.• Pitch is determined by the

frequency of a wave.

• Crest – If amplitude increases, the crest will Increase. If the pitch increases, the crest will Stay the Same.

• Trough – If the amplitude increases, the trough will Increase. If the pitch increases, the trough will Stay the Same.

• Wavelength – If the amplitude increases, the wavelength will Stay the same. If the pitch increases, the wavelength Decreases.

S8P5: Students will recognize characteristics of gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major kinds of forces acting in

nature.

S8P5a: Recognize the every object exerts gravitational force on every other object and that the force exerted depends on how

much mass the objects have and how far apart they are.

• Explain how this standard refers to planets and the effects of their gravity.

Mass – greater mass = greater gravity

Distance – as the distance increases, gravity decreases between 2 objects.

S8P5b: Demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits and

how they transfer energy.• Series Circuit• Advantages – Less wire

needed.• Disadvantages – If one

light goes out, the rest of the lights will go out.

S8P5b: Demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits and

how they transfer energy.• Parallel Circuit

• Advantages – If one light goes out, the rest will stay on. More loads will not weaken the other loads.

S8P5c. Investigate and explain that electric currents and magnets can exert force on each

other.• To increase the strength

of an electromagnet, increase the current, add more coils of wire, or increase the size of the iron core.
