Identify that forces has both direction and magnitude, which result is the cumulative effect of all the forces. Furthermore, analyze that forces of an object that are balanced by the motion does not change the initial motion. Whereas, showing that when the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will change its velocity (that is, it will speed up, slow down, or change direction). Finally, demonstrating that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to achieve the same ra

Introduce students that Earth processes today are similar to those that occurred in the past and slow geologic processes have large cumulative effects over long periods of time. Justify that the rock cycle includes the formation of new sediment and rocks and that rocks are often found in layers, with the oldest generally on the bottom. Show how movement of Earth’s continental and oceanic plates through time, with associated changes in climate and geographic connections, have affected the past an

Introduce knowing how to get where you want to go, you first must know where you are and define in relations to some reference point of direction. In addition, know that an object’s velocity can help you predict where it will be in the future. Finally, demonstrate graph’s display to a great deal of information in a compact space.

Introduce students to how water running downhill is the dominant process in shaping the landscape, including California’s landscape. Explain how rivers and streams are dynamic systems that erode, transport sediment, change course, and flood their banks in natural and recurring patterns. Describe how beaches are dynamic systems in which the sand is supplied by rivers and moved along the coast by the action of waves. Finally, know the differences between earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides

Introduce students to cells function and their similarly in all living organisms. Students will characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells, including chloroplasts and cell walls. Students will analyze how nucleus is the repository for genetic information in plant and animal cells. In addition, students will show that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis. Finally, students will demonstrate how

Identify that both genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and diversity of organisms. Students will illustrate how Charles Darwin conclusions that natural selection is the mechanism of evolution. Students will construct a simple branching diagram to classify living groups of organisms by shared derived characteristics and explain fossil organisms. Finally, students will relate that extinction of a species occurs when the environment changes and the adaptive character

Introduce and explain the structure of planets and the solar systems that classify each planets distinction. Illustrate how planets moving around the sun and model how reflected light from the Sun causes the Moon to shine. Explain the moon phases and the differences between comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. Finally, compare an eclipse of the Moon and eclipse of the Sun and explain how the composition of stars can be determined.

Introduce students to how the state of matter depends on the motion of its particles. In addition, how the changes in energy can cause matter to change from one state to another. Student will compare melting/freezing points and vaporization/condensation in, which all matter that surrounds items are composed into constant motion of particles.

Introduce the students to density and buoyancy of materials. In addition, demonstrate if independent/dependent amounts affect the buoyancy of certain materials. Students will determine types of calculations of density of an object given its mass and volume. Therefore, this will allow students to describe how to measure the density of a liquid and a solid. Introduce the students to density and buoyancy of materials. In addition, demonstrate if independent/dependent amounts affect the buoyancy

Introduce students to cells function and their similarly in all living organisms. Students will characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells, including chloroplasts and cell walls. Students will analyze how nucleus is the repository for genetic information in plant and animal cells. In addition, students will show that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis. Finally, students will demonstrate how

Introduce students to how chemical reactions are processes in which atoms are rearranged into different combinations of molecules. In addition, how the principles of chemistry underlie the functioning of biological systems and how living organisms have many different kinds of molecules, including small ones, such as water and salt, and very large ones, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA.

Introduce students of how evidence of plate tectonics is derived from the fit of the continents; the location of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mid ocean ridges; and the distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climatic zones. In addition, the Earth is composed of several layers: a cold, brittle lithosphere; a hot, mantle; and a dense, metallic core. Understand that earthquakes are sudden motions along breaks in the crust called faults and how volcanoes and fissures are locations where magm
