• Physical Science
  • Motion and Forces
    • Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. (9-12)
    • Gravitation is a universal force that each mass exerts on any other mass. (9-12)
    • The strength of the force is proportional to the charges and, as with gravitation, inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. (9-12)

• Earth Science
  • Structure of the earth system
    • The solid earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
    • Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from the motions of lithospheric plates.
    • Destructive forces include weathering and erosion.
    • The atmosphere has different properties at different elevations.
    • Global patterns of atmospheric movement influence local weather.
  • Earth in the solar system
    • The earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.
    • The sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system.
    • Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and governs the rest of the motion in the solar system.
    • The sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on the earth's surface, such as growth of plants, winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.
