1. Earth's Systems
- Earth's atmosphere: Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems
2. Earth's Place in the Universe
- Star Brightness & Distance: Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from Earth, understanding the sun is a relatively close star
3. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
- Food Webs & Interdependence: Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others
4. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes
- Plants Grow from Air & Water: Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water, not from the soil
5. Energy
- Energy from Food & the Sun: Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms
6. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
- Gravity & Falling Objects: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
7. Matter and Its Interactions
- Pure Substances & Mixtures: Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures, identify formulations as useful mixtures with precise compositions, and use melting and boiling points to test for purity
- Classifying Materials: Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
- Matter Is Made of Particles: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and that this explains properties of solids, liquids, and gases
