PHYSICAL SCIENCE STANDARDS
6-8

After careful consideration of current research and input from educators throughout the state, the Committee revised former standards to facilitate effective instruction and student mastery. Grade six standards emphasize an integration of Physical, Life, and Earth/Space Science. Grade seven standards emphasize Life Science. Grade eight standards emphasize Earth/Space Science. Nature of Science and Science, Technology, Environment, and Society standards continue to emerge over these grades.

Indicator 3: Analyze interactions of energy and matter.

6.P.3.1. (Comprehension) Identify types of energy transformations.
 

NOTE: Each site must audio mute upon connecting to the session to prevent voice activated moving of the cameras from site to site.
