Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science and Technology - New York State Board of Regents
Standard 4: Science, Commencement
Physical Setting
This correlation does not include the standards which are not part of a traditional physics curriculum (e.g. chemistry topics), unless they are covered in the textbook.
Physics for Scientists and Engineers Principles of Physics Conceptual Physics
1. The Earth and celestial phenomena can be described by principles of relative motion and perspective.      
• explain complex phenomena, such as tides, variations in day length, solar insolation, apparent motion of the planets, and annual traverse of the constellations Chapter 13,
35.11 - 35.12
Chapter 13,
34.8 - 34.9
Chapter 12,
30.6
3. Matter is made up of particles whose properties determine the observable characteristics of matter and its reactivity.  
• use kinetic molecular theory to explain rates of reactions and the relationships among temperature, pressure, and volume of a substance Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Chapter 19
4. Energy exists in many forms, and when these forms change energy is conserved.  
• observe and describe transmission of various forms of energy Chapter 7,
16.1, 16.19,
19.25 - 19.30,
27.18, 33.4,
35.9 - 35.10  
Chapter 7,
16.1,
19.22 - 19.27,
27.13,
34.6 - 34.7  
Chapter 6,
15.1,
18.17 - 18.20,
25.11
• explain heat in terms of kinetic molecular theory 20.10 20.10 19.9
• explain variations in wavelength and frequency in terms of the source of the vibrations that produce them, e.g., molecules, electrons, and nuclear particles 17.1, 35.1,
42.12
17.1, 34.1,
41.11
16.1, 30.1, 36.9

44.19 - 44.20
34.1,
43.19 - 43.20
30.1
5. Energy and matter interact through forces that result in changes in motion.  
• explain and predict different patterns of motion of objects (e.g., linear and angular motion, velocity and acceleration, momentum and inertia) Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 & 11 Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 & 11 Chapters 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, & 10
• compare energy relationships within an atom’s nucleus to those outside the nucleus Chapter 44 Chapter 43 Chapter 38
