Physical Science 2016 Indiana Academic Standards Clarifying Statements Vocabulary Crosscutting Concept Disciplinary Core Idea 6.PS.1 Distinguish between the terms position, distance, and displacement, as well as, the terms speed and velocity. 1) Displacement and velocity include the direction the object has moved relative to the origin (distance). 2) Define and discuss the difference between speed and velocity. *Position -Distance -Displacement -Speed -Velocity PS2.A: Forces and Motion 6.PS.2 Describe the motion of an object graphically showing the relationship between time and position. 1) Given a graph of position vs. time, be able to rank the velocity of an object based on the slope of the graph. 2) Identify when an object is in motion or at rest. *Time *Position PS2.A: Forces and Motion 6.PS.3 Describe how potential and kinetic energy can be transferred from one form to another. 1) Define and discuss the law of conservation of energy. 2) Provide real-world examples of how energy is transformed in a system. Examples = car engines, light switches, a toaster, roller coasters etc. *Law of conservation of energy *Potential energy *Kinetic energy PS3.A: Definitions of Energy PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
6.LS.1 Investigate and describe how homeostasis is maintained as living things seek out their basic needs of food, water, shelter, space, and air. 1) Discuss how energy taken in by organisms drives homeostasis in the body. 2 )Provide opportunities for students to measure homeostasis in own bodies (exercise heart rate lab) *Homeostasis LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms 6.LS.2 Describe the role of photosynthesis in the flow of energy in food chains, energy pyramids, and food webs. Create diagrams to show how the energy in animals' food used for bodily processes was once energy from the sun. 1) Understand and identify what is required in order for photosynthesis to take place, as well as the byproducts. 2) Understand that organisms use energy for bodily processes such as growth, body repair, motion, maintaining body warmth, respiration, etc. *Food web -Food chain -Energy pyramid -Photosynthesis LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems LS2.B: Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience
6.LS.5 Research invasive species and discuss their impact on ecosystems. 1) Use a socratic seminar to discuss research invasive species with class 2) Students should be able to defend research with support/evidence *Invasive species *socratic seminar Engineering 2016 Indiana Academic Standards Clarifying Statements Vocabulary Crosscutting Concepts Disciplinary Core Ideas 6-8.E.1 Identify the criteria and constraints of a design to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem ETS1.B: Developing the Possible Solutions ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution
6-8.E.4 Develop a prototype to generate data for repeated investigations and modify a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem ETS1.B: Developing the Possible Solutions ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution
