Mr. Stockdell's Science Class

Learning Targets

Current:

  • I can identify and describe forms of energy.
  • I can identify and give examples of energy transformations.
  • I can describe potential energy & kinetic energy, including gravitational potential energy.
  • I can explain and demonstrate how energy is transferred to or from an object as it moves.

 

Assessed:

  • Inquiry (I.2):  I can identify and describe the importance of the independent variable, dependent variable, constants and control in an experiment.
  • .I can develop models to describe atoms.

Upcoming:

  • Matter (LT M.7):   I can identify and describe energy transformations in a closed series circuit.
  • Inquiry 1 (I.1):  I can use the appropriate tools and techniques to collect data (measure length to the nearest millimeter, mass to the nearest tenth of a gram and volume to the nearest milliliter).
  •  
  • Inquiry 3 (I.3):  I can write a testable question and a hypothesis.
  • Matter (LT M.1):  I can describe matter as anything that has mass and volume.
  • Matter (LT M.2):  I can use various methods to determine the volume of a substance.
  •  
  • Matter (LT M.5) I can predict how different objects behave when put in water.
  • Matter (LT M.3):  I can describe the physical and chemical properties (e.g., magnetic attraction, conductivity, melting point and boiling point, reactivity) of pure substances.
  • LT. M.4 I can desribe ways to separate parts of a mixture (Click Here for Study Guide)
  • Matter (LT M.6):  I can identify and provide examples of energy transformations.
  •  

  • LT LS.2:  I can describe how light interacts with different surfaces.  (I can predict how different surfaces and mirrors affect the behavior of light rays.)
  • MO PS4A.1 :

  • I can describe the parts of a wave.
  • I can define wavelength, frequency and amplitude.
  • I can use a mathematical  equation to show how amplitude relates to the energy of a wave

 

  • LS1: I can describe sound as energy and a disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave.
  • FM.1 Identify and describe the types of forces acting on an object in motion, at rest, floating/sinking.
  • I can describe how light interacts with different surfaces.

*Inquiry targets are ongoing the entire year.  Students will have the opportunity to improve as they do experiments within each unit all school year.
