Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

Develop a model to
illustrate system
relationship

Use model to predict

relationship

Planning and Carrying Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating

Information
Out Investigations

Plan and conduct

investigation to
produce data

Evaluate reliability of
multiple claims in text

Communicate
information in
multiple formats

Using Mathematical and Computational

Thinking

Create computation
model of
phenomenon

Use math
representations of
phenomena to
support claims

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

Apply scientific
principles to provide
and explanation of
phenomena

Explain phenomena
Refine a solution to a
using evidence from
complex real-world
theories, laws, and
problem
investigations

Structure of Matter
HS-PS1-1 Use p-table
to predict properties
of elements
HS-PS1-3 Compare
structure of
substances at bulk
scale/infer electrical
forces
HS-PS1-8 Illustrate
changes in nucleus of
atom and energy
released

HS-PS2-6
Communicate why
molecular-level
structure is important
in material design

Chemical Reactions
HS-PS1-2 Explain the
outcome of chemical
reaction based on
chemical knowledge
HS-PS1-4 Illustrate
energy transfer from
chemical reaction
HS-PS1-5 Explain
effects of changing
conditions on
reaction rate
