part of a traditional physics curriculum (e.g. chemistry topics), unless they
are covered in the textbook. |

| The
Nature of Matter |
|
|
|
| Standard 1: The student understands that all matter has
observable, measurable properties. (SC.A.1.4) |
|
|
|
| 3. knows that a change from one phase of matter to another
involves a gain or loss of energy. |
19.21 |
19.18 |
18.14 |
| Standard 2: The student understands the basic principles of
atomic theory. (SC.A.2.4) |
|
|
|
| 3. knows that a number of elements have heavier, unstable
nuclei that decay, spontaneously giving off smaller particles and waves that
result in a small loss of mass and release a large amount of energy. |
Chapter 44 |
Chapter 43 |
Chapter 38 |
| 4. knows that nuclear energy is released when small, light atoms
are fused into heavier ones. |
44.14 |
43.14 |
38.14 |
| 6. understands that matter may act as a wave, a particle,
or something else entirely different with its own characteristic behavior. |
Chapter 43 |
Chapter 42 |
Chapter 37 |
| Energy |
|
|
|
| Standard 1: The student recognizes that energy may be
changed in form with varying efficiency. (SC.B.1.4) |
|
|
|
| 2. understands that there is conservation of mass and
energy when matter is transformed. |
41.23,
Chapter 44 |
40.16,
Chapter 43 |
35.12,
Chapter 38 |
| 3. knows that temperature is a measure of the average
translational kinetic energy of motion of the molecules in an object. |
20.10 |
20.10 |
19.9 |
| 4. knows that as electrical charges oscillate, they create
time-varying electric and magnetic fields that propagate away from the source
as an electromagnetic wave. |
Chapter 35 |
Chapter 34 |
Chapter 30 |
| 5. knows that each source of energy presents advantages and
disadvantages to its use in society (e.g., political and economic
implications may determine a society’s selection of renewable or nonrenewable
energy sources). |
27.14, 44.13 |
27.9, 43.13 |
25.8, 38.13 |
| 6. knows that the first law of thermodynamics relates the
transfer of energy to the work done and the heat transferred. |
21.1 |
21.1 |
20.1 |
| 7. knows that the total amount of usable energy always
decreases, even though the total amount of energy is conserved in any
transfer. |
Chapter 22 |
Chapter 22 |
Chapter 21 |
| Standard 2: The student understands the interaction of matter
and energy. (SC.B.2.4) |
|
|
|
| 1. knows that the structure of the universe is the result
of interactions involving fundamental particles (matter) and basic forces
(energy) and that evidence suggests that the universe contains all of the
matter and energy that ever existed. |
44.22 |
43.22 |
38.19 |
| Force and Motion |
|
|
|
| Standard 1: The student understands that types of motion
may be described, measured, and predicted. (SC.C.1.4) |
|
|
|
| 1. knows that all motion is relative to whatever frame of
reference is chosen and that there is no absolute frame of reference from
which to observe all motion. |
4.22 - 4.25,
Chapter 41 |
4.21 -
4.23,
Chapter 40 |
4.14 - 4.15,
Chapter 35 |
| 2. knows that any change in velocity is an acceleration. |
2.10 |
2.10 |
2.8 |
| Standard 2: The student understands that the types of force that
act on an object and the effect of that force can be described, measured, and
predicted. (SC.C.2.4) |
|
|
|
| 1. knows that acceleration due to gravitational force is
proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between the objects. |
13.1 - 13.2 |
13.1 - 13.2 |
12.1 - 12.2 |
| 2. knows that electrical forces exist between any two charged
objects. |
23.7 |
23.7 |
22.6 |
| 3. describes how magnetic force and electrical force are
two aspects of a single force. |
Chapters 31, 32, 34 & 35 |
Chapters 31, 32 & 34 |
28.20 - 28.22,
Chapter 29 |
| 4. knows that the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom
together are much stronger than electromagnetic force and that this is the
reason for the great amount of energy released from the nuclear reactions in
the sun and other stars. |
44.5, 44.9, 44.14 |
43.5, 43.9, 43.14 |
38.5, 38.9, 38.14 |
| 5. knows that most observable forces can be traced to
electric forces acting between atoms or molecules. |
|
|
|
| 6. explains that all forces come in pairs commonly called action
and reaction. |
5.10 |
5.10 |
5.10 |
| Earth and Space |
|
|
|
| Standard 1: The student understands the interaction and
organization in the Solar System and the universe and how this affects life
on Earth. (SC.E.1.4) |
|
|
|
| 1. understands the relationships between events on Earth and the
movements of the Earth, its moon, the other planets, and the sun. |
