Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.* Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved. MS-PS1-2 Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Students conduct research, prototype, conduct a sensitivity analysis (documenting their Think, Do, Test process), and build a final model. Implement the Engineering Design Process. Students construct a scientific argument supported by evidence and reasoning. Students develop a hypothesis, write procedures, identify independent and dependent variables, and analyze and interpret data using graphs. Introduce metric system and practice gathering quantitative observation through measurement.ĭesign an investigation and implement scientific practices of gathering information from research, controlling an experiment, and gathering and analyzing data. Differentiate qualitative and quantitative observation. Practice gathering information about phenomena through the use of scientific observation. Develop and demonstrate a comprehensive safety plan for collaborative group work in a lab environment. Analyze the developmental changes taking place in the teenage brain.Īnalyze safety hazards present in the science lab. Study the structures and functions of the brain, and nervous system.

and Canada will go head-to-head to find the best technician. In November, he’ll travel to Arlington, VA to compete at the international level where winning teams from regional competitions across the U.S. Each component was timed and judged on accuracy. The competition included identifying parts and repairing different issues. In June, Chaney was named California’s best at the CA Association of School Transportation Officials (CASTO) bus technician competition in South Lake Tahoe. The mechanic is one of 35 members on the SLCUSD transportation team. You can find the articles on SLCUSD Superintendent Dr. The monthly profiles feature exceptional people, programs and departments that make the district unique.
