1. Science Inquiry
f. Explain how science and technology are reciprocal.
g. Develop a logical argument to explain why scientists often review and ask questions
about the results of other scientists’ work.
h. Make relationships between evidence and explanations.
2.Physical Science
c. Compare the force (effort) required to do the same amount of work with and without
simple machines (e.g., levers, pulleys, wheel and axle, inclined planes).
d. Describe cause and effect relationships of electrical energy.
d1. Energy transfers through an electric circuit (using common pictures and symbols)
d2. Electric motor energy transfers (e.g., chemical to electrical to mechanical motion) and
generators
e. Distinguish how various types of longitudinal and transverse waves (e.g., water, light,
sound, seismic) transfer energy.
e1. Frequency
e2. Wavelength
e3. Speed
e4. Amplitude
4. Space Science
e. Research and develop a logical argument to support the funding of NASA’s Space
Programs.
e1. Space exploration (e.g., telescopes, radio telescopes, X-ray telescopes, cameras,
spectro-meters, etc.)
e2. Spinoffs (e.g., laser, pacemaker, dehydrated food, flame retardant clothing, global positiong system [ GPS],satellite imagery, global weather information, diagnostic imagery)
e3. Mississippi’s contributions to the space industry
f. Distinguish the structure and movements of objects in the solar system.
f1. Sun’s atmosphere (corona, chromosphere, photosphere and core)
f2. How phenomena on the sun’s surface (e.g., sunspots, prominences, solar wind, solar
flares) affect Earth (e.g., auroras, interference in radio and television communication)
f3. Eclipses relative to the position of the sun, moon, and Earth
f4. Contributions of Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler in describing the solar system
