[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Physical Science
- Motion and Forces
- Electricity and magnetism are two aspects of a single electromagnetic force. (9-12)
- Earth Science
- Properties of earth materials
- Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere.
- 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.
- Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment.
- Science as Inquiry
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
- Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence.
- History and Nature of Science
- Science as a human endeavor
- Science requires different abilities, depending on such factors as the field of study and type of inquiry.
- Process Standards for Professional Development
- Research-Based
- Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning. (NSES)
- Design
- Introduce teachers to scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge. (NSES)
