Scientific Exploration Skills
Chemistry: Chemical Reactions
Physics: Light and Geometric Optics
Biology: Tissues, Organs,
and Systems of Living Things
Earth and Space Science: Climate Change
Chemistry: Big Ideas
• Chemicals react with
each other in
predictable ways.
• Chemical reactions
may have a negative
impact on the
environment, but they
can also be used to
address environmental
challenges.
Chemistry: Sample Expectation
C2.3 investigate simple
chemical reactions,
including synthesis,
decomposition, and
displacement reactions,
and represent them using
a variety of formats (e.g.,
molecular models, word
equations, balanced
chemical equations)
Physics: Big Ideas
• Light has characteristics and properties that can
be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a
range of uses.
• Society has benefited from the development of a
range of optical devices and technologies.
Physics: Sample Expectation
E2.5 predict, using ray diagrams and algebraic
equations, the position and characteristics of an
image produced by a converging lens, and test
their predictions through inquiry
Biology: Big Ideas
• Plants and animals, including humans, are made
of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are
organized into systems.
• Developments in medicine and medical
technology can have social and ethical
implications.
Biology: Sample Expectation
B2.2 examine cells
under a microscope
or similar instrument
to identify the various
stages of mitosis in
plants and animals
Earth and Space Science: Big Ideas
• Earth's climate is dynamic and is the result of
interacting systems and processes.
• Global climate change is influenced by both
natural and human factors.
• Climate change affects living things and natural
systems in a variety of ways.
• People have the responsibility to assess their
impact on climate change and to identify
effective courses of action to reduce this impact.
Earth and Space Science: Sample
Expectation
D3.2 describe and explain heat transfer in the
hydrosphere and atmosphere and its effects on
air and water currents
