Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and patterns to make sense of phenomena and solve problem

Students observe patterns in systems at different scales and cite patterns as empirical evidence for causality in supporting their explanations of phenomena. They recognize classifications or explanations used at one scale may not be useful or need revision using a different scale, thus requiring improved investigations and experiments. They use mathematical representations to identify and analyze patterns of performance in order to reengineer a designed system.

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and cause and effect relationships to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students understand empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and to make claims about specific causes and effects. They suggest cause and effect relationships to explain and predict behaviors in complex natural and designed systems. They also propose causal relationships by examining what is known about smaller scale mechanisms within the system. They recognize changes in systems may have various causes that may not have equal effects.

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and an understanding of scale, proportion and quantity to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students understand the significance of a phenomenon is dependent on the scale, proportion, and quantity at which it occurs. They recognize patterns observable at one scale may not be observable or exist at other scales, and some systems can only be studied indirectly as they are too small, too large, too fast, or too slow to observe directly. They use orders of magnitude to understand how a model at one scale relates to a model at another scale. They use algebraic thinking to examine scientific data and predict the effect of a change in one variable on another (e.g., linear growth vs. exponential growth).

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and an understanding of systems and models to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students investigate or analyze a system by defining its boundaries and initial conditions, as well as its inputs and outputs. They use models (e.g., physical, mathematical, computer models) to simulate the flow of energy, matter, and interactions within and between systems at different scales. They also use models and simulations to predict the behavior of a system, and recognize that these predictions have limited precision and reliability due to the assumptions and approximations inherent in the models. They also design systems to do specific tasks.

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and an understanding of energy and matter to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students understand that the total amount of energy and matter in closed systems is conserved. They describe changes of energy and matter in a system in terms of energy and matter flows into, out of, and within that system. They also learn that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It only moves between one place and another place, between objects and/or fields, or between systems. Energy drives the cycling of matter within and between systems. In nuclear processes, atoms are not conserved, but the total number of protons plus neutrons is conserved.

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and an understanding of structure and function to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students investigate systems by examining the properties of different materials, the structures of different components, and their interconnections to reveal the system's function and solve a problem. They infer the functions and properties of natural and designed objects and systems from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of their various materials.

Students use science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and an understanding of stability and change to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Students understand much of science deals with constructing explanations of how things change and how they remain stable. They quantify and model changes in systems over very short or very long periods of time. They see some changes are irreversible, and negative feedback can stabilize a system, while positive feedback can destabilize it. They recognize systems can be designed for greater or lesser stability.

Students use science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and an understanding of Earth's place in the universe to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

The Universe and Its Stars

Light spectra from stars are used to determine their characteristics, processes, and lifecycles. Solar activity creates the elements through nuclear fusion. The development of technologies has provided the astronomical data that provide the empirical evidence for the Big Bang theory.

Earth and the Solar System

Kepler's laws describe common features of the motions of orbiting objects. Observations from astronomy and space probes provide evidence for explanations of solar system formation. Cyclical changes in Earth's tilt and orbit, occurring over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, cause cycles of ice ages and other gradual climate changes.

The History of Planet Earth

Criteria may need to be broken down into simpler ones that can be approached systematically, and decisions about the priority of certain criteria over others (trade-offs) may be needed.

The rock record resulting from tectonic and other geoscience processes as well as objects from the solar system can provide evidence of Earth's early history and the relative ages of major geologic formations.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of Earth's systems to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

The role of radiation from the sun and its interactions with the atmosphere, ocean, and land are the foundation for the global climate system. Global climate models are used to predict future changes, including changes influenced by human behavior and natural factors.

Biogeology

The biosphere and Earth's other systems have many interconnections that cause a continual co-evolution of Earth's surface and life on it.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of the Earth and human activity to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Criteria and constraints also include satisfying any requirements set by society, such as taking issues of risk mitigation into account, and they should be quantified to the extent possible and stated in such a way that one can tell if a given design meets them.

Humanity faces major global challenges today, such as the need for supplies of clean water and food or for energy sources that minimize pollution, which can be addressed through engineering. These global challenges also may have manifestations in local communities.

Developing Possible Solutions

When evaluating solutions, it is important to take into account a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, and to consider social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

Both physical models and computers can be used in various ways to aid in the engineering design process. Computers are useful for a variety of purposes, such as running simulations to test different ways of solving a problem or to see which one is most efficient or economical. They are also useful in making a persuasive presentation to a client about how a given design will meet his or her needs.

Optimizing the Design Solution

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of the links among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology

Science and engineering complement each other in the cycle known as research and development (R&D).

Many research and development projects may involve scientists, engineers, and others with wide ranges of expertise.

Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World

Modern civilization depends on major technological systems, such as agriculture, health, water, energy, transportation, manufacturing, construction, and communications.

Engineers continuously modify these systems to increase benefits while decreasing costs and risks.

New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated.

Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology.

Students use science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and an understanding of the nature of science and engineering to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Science and Engineering Are Human Endeavors

Individuals from diverse backgrounds bring unique perspectives that are valuable to the outcomes and processes of science and engineering.

Scientists' and engineers' backgrounds, perspectives, and fields of endeavor influence the nature of questions they ask, the definition of problems, and the nature of their findings and solutions.

Some cultures have historically been marginalized in science and engineering discourse.

Scientists and engineers embrace skepticism and critique as a community. Deliberate deceit in science is rare and is likely exposed through the peer review process. When discovered, intellectual dishonesty is condemned by the scientific community.

Science and Engineering Are Unique Ways of Thinking with Different Purposes

Science is both a body of knowledge that represents current understanding of natural systems and the processes used to refine, elaborate, revise and extend this knowledge. These processes differentiate science from other ways of knowing.

Science knowledge has a history that includes the refinement of, and changes to, theories, ideas and beliefs over time.

Science and engineering innovations may raise ethical issues for which science and engineering, by themselves, do not provide answers and solutions.

Science and Engineering Use Multiple Approaches to Create New Knowledge and Solve Problems

Scientists use a variety of methods, tools and techniques to develop theories. A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural word, based on evidence that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation, experimentation (hypothesis-testing), and peer review.

The certainty and durability of science findings varies based on the strength of supporting evidence. Theories are usually modified if they are not able to accommodate new evidence.

Engineers use a variety of approaches, tools, and techniques to define problems and develop solutions to those problems. Successful engineering solutions meet stakeholder needs and safety requirements, and are economically viable. Trade-offs in design aspects balance competing demands.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of structures and processes (on a scale from molecules to organisms) to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Structure and Function

Systems of specialized cells within organisms help perform essential functions of life. Any one system in an organism is made up of numerous parts. Feedback mechanisms maintain an organism's internal conditions within certain limits and mediate behaviors.

Growth and Development of Organisms

Growth and division of cells in organisms occurs by mitosis and differentiation for specific cell types.

Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms

The molecules produced through photosynthesis are used to make amino acids and other molecules that can be assembled into proteins or DNA. Through cellular respiration, matter and energy flow through different organizational levels of an organism as elements are recombined to form different products and transfer energy.

Information Processing

Organisms can process and store a variety of information through specific chemicals and interconnected networks.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of the interactions, energy, and dynamics within ecosystems to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems

Ecosystems have carrying capacities resulting from biotic and abiotic factors. The fundamental tension between resource availability and organism populations affects the abundance of species in any given ecosystem. The combination of the factors that affect an organism's success can be measured as a multidimensional niche.

Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide most of the energy for life processes. Only a fraction of matter consumed at the lower level of a food web is transferred up, resulting in fewer organisms at higher levels. At each link in an ecosystem, elements are combined in different ways, and matter and energy are conserved. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are key components of the global carbon cycle.

Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience

If a biological or physical disturbance to an ecosystem occurs, including one induced by human activity, the ecosystem may return to its more or less original state or become a very different ecosystem, depending on the complex set of interactions within the ecosystem.

Social Interactions and Group Behavior

Group behavior has evolved because membership can increase the chances of survival for individuals and their genetic relatives.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of heredity to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Inheritance of Traits

DNA carries instructions for forming species' characteristics. Each cell in an organism has the same genetic content, but genes expressed by cells can differ.

Variation of Traits

The variation and distribution of traits in a population depend on genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variation can result from mutations caused by environmental factors or errors in DNA replication, or from chromosomes swapping sections during meiosis.

Students use science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and an understanding of biological evolution to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Evidence of Common Ancestry and Diversity

The ongoing branching that produces multiple lines of descent can be inferred by comparing DNA sequences, amino acid sequences, and anatomical and embryological evidence of different organisms.

Natural Selection

Natural selection occurs only if there is variation in the genes and traits between organisms in a population. Traits that positively affect survival can become more common in a population.

Adaptation

Evolution results primarily from genetic variation of individuals in a species, competition for resources, and proliferation of organisms better able to survive and reproduce. Adaptation means that the distribution of traits in a population, as well as species expansion, emergence, or extinction, can change when conditions change.

Biodiversity and Humans

Biodiversity is increased by formation of new species and reduced by extinction. Humans depend on biodiversity but also have adverse impacts on it. Sustaining biodiversity is essential to supporting life on Earth.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of matter and its interactions to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Structures and Properties of Matter

The sub-atomic structural model and interactions between electric charges at the atomic scale can be used to explain the structure and interactions of matter, including chemical reactions and nuclear processes. Repeating patterns of the periodic table reflect patterns of outer electrons. A stable molecule has less energy than the same set of atoms separated; one must provide at least this energy to take the molecule apart.

Chemical Reactions

Chemical processes are understood in terms of collisions of molecules, rearrangement of atoms, and changes in energy as determined by properties of elements involved.

Nuclear Processes

Nuclear processes, including fusion, fission, and radioactive decays of unstable nuclei, involve release or absorption of energy.

Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of forces, interactions, motion and stability to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Forces and Motion

Motion and changes in motion can be quantitatively described using concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration (including speeding up, slowing down, and/or changing direction).

Newton's second law of motion (F=ma) and the conservation of momentum can be used to predict changes in the motion of macroscopic objects.

If a system interacts with objects outside itself, the total momentum of the system can change; however, any such change is balanced by changes in the momentum of objects outside the system.

Types of Interactions

Forces at a distance are explained by fields that can transfer energy and can be described in terms of the arrangement and properties of the interacting objects and the distance between them. These forces can be used to describe the relationship between electrical and magnetic fields.

Attraction and repulsion between electric charges at the atomic scale explain the structure, properties, and transformations of matter, as well as the contact forces between material objects.

Students use science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and an understanding of energy to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Definitions of Energy

Systems move towards more stable states.

Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer

The total energy within a system is conserved. Energy transfer within and between systems can be described and predicted in terms of energy associated with the motion or configuration of particles (objects).

Relationships Between Energy and Forces

Fields contain energy that depends on the arrangement of the objects in the field.

Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday Life

Photosynthesis is the primary biological means of capturing radiation from the sun; energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be converted to less useful forms.

Students use science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and an understanding of waves and their applications in technologies for information transfer to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

Wave Properties

The wavelength and frequency of a wave are related to one another by the speed of the wave, which depends on the type of wave and the medium through which it is passing. Waves can be used to transmit information and energy.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Both an electromagnetic wave model and a photon model explain features of electromagnetic radiation broadly and describe common applications of electromagnetic radiation.
