Test of matter including its forms, components of the atom, their What are the characteristics of properties and interactions. mass relative to one another, protons, neutrons, and electrons? their arrangement and their What are the differences between B. Chemical Reactions charge. a solid, liquid, and gas? The student will describe chemical 2. The student will be able to How can the periodic table be reactions and the factors that explain the relationship of an used? influence them. element’s position on the What are some characteristics of periodic table to its atomic compounds? C. Energy Transformations number and atomic mass. How are compounds formed? The student will understand energy 1. The student will describe How do you write a chemical forms, transformations and transfers. chemical reactions using formula? words and symbolic What is a reaction? D. Motion equations. What are products and reactants? The student will understand the nature 1. The student will use What is energy? of force and motion. Newton’s three laws of How are speed and velocity motion to qualitatively and different? quantitatively describe the What are the differences between interaction of objects. potential and kinetic energy? 2. The student will describe What are Newton’s laws and the effect of friction and how do they apply to the world gravity on the motion of an we live in? object. 2. The student will differentiate between kinetic and potential energy and identify situations where kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and vice versa. Willmar Public Schools Curriculum Mapping 7-12 5 Earth Science III. Earth and Space Science A Earth Structure and Processes The student will understand that the interactions of the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and space have resulted in ongoing change of the Earth system over geologic time. The student will investigate the impact humans have on the environment. The student will understand the meaning of the terms related to Earth’s structure, cycles and our solar system. B. The Water Cycle, Weather and Climate The student will explain the causes and effects of the Earth’s atmospheric and hydrologic processes. 3 Life Science C. The Universe The student will relate the formation and components of our solar system to the conditions necessary for life. The student will use astronomical data to reveal the structure, scale, and changes in the stars, galaxies and universe over time. IV. Life Science A. Cells The student will comprehend that all The student will understand living things are composed of cells, the meaning of the terms and that the life processes in a cell are related to living things, based on molecular interactions. ecology, and heredity. D. Heredity The student will explain how inherited characteristics are encoded by genes. How are latitude and longitude Understanding Booklets used to locate places on the Labs earth? Test What is the shape of the earth? Which ocean is the largest? What causes day and night, and the seasons on the earth? What are the layers of the earth? How are mountains formed? How does water effect our earth? How wind patterns effect our weather? What are our solar systems planets and what are they alike or different? What are main features all cells Understanding Booklets share? Labs How are plant and animal cells Test different? How do food chains and food webs work? What are a few of the human impacts on the ecosystems? Where are the genes of all living things found?
