A - Content

• obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the structure and properties of matter
• obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the Law of Conservation of Energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system (forms of energy include, but are not limited to, heat/thermal, light/radiant, chemical, nuclear, mechanical - kinetic and potential, sound, and electrical)
• obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about cause-and-effect relationships between force, mass, and the motion of objects
• obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support the claim that electromagnetic (e.g., light, microwave, and radio) waves behave differently than mechanical (e.g., sound and vibration) waves
• obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the phenomena of gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major forces acting in nature
