Using interactives, students will demonstrate that gravity is the force that governs the motion of our solar system.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will differentiate between elements and compounds.

Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy.

Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will identify energy transformations, such as how energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electric energy to light energy.

Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids using physical properties such as luster, conductivity, or malleability.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed.

Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an objects motion.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will contrast situations where work is done with different amounts of force to situations where no work is done, such as moving a box with a ramp and without a ramp or standing still.

Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will identify the historical development and evidence that supports plate tectonic theory and relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features.

Given scenarios and descriptions, students will be able to diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.

Given scenarios, descriptions, maps and illustrations, students will be able to model the effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water in a watershed.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will be able to recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will be able to identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism.

This resource provides trainers of Science Academies K-4, Part 2 with participant guides, presentation files, documents, and videos associated with the training.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will be able to recognize that according to the cell theory all organisms are composed of cells, and compare the functions of a cell to the functions of organisms.

This resource is available to participants of the Science Academies for Grades 5–8, Part 2. The purpose of the resource is to provide participants with the training materials and documents associated with the training.

This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning opportunities for students to diagram the flow of energy through living systems, Seventh Grade Science TEKS (7)(5)(C).

This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.
