Science Safety

 Know safety procedures for the classroom. Know protective and emergency safety equipment.

Matter and Energy

The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy.

 recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is

transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis

 demonstrate and explain the cycling of matter within living systems such as in the decay of biomass in a compost bin

 diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, energy pyramids

Force, Motion, and Energy

The student knows that there is a relationship among force, motion, and energy.

 Review situations where work is done

 illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism

 demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life

Earth and Space

The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems.

 describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes

 analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas .

 model the effects of human activity on surface water in a watershed
