3. Chemistry: Big Ideas Chemicals react with each other in predictable ways.Chemicals react with each other in predictable ways. Chemical reactions may have a negative impact on the environment, but they can also be used to address environmental challenges. Chemical reactions may have a negative impact on the environment, but they can also be used to address environmental challenges.

4. Chemistry: Sample Expectation C2.3 investigate simple chemical reactions, including synthesis, decomposition, and displacement reactions, and represent them using a variety of formats (e.g., molecular models, word equations, balanced chemical equations)

5. Physics: Big Ideas Light has characteristics and properties that can be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a range of uses. Light has characteristics and properties that can be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a range of uses. Society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies. Society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies.

6. Physics: Sample Expectation E2.5 predict, using ray diagrams and algebraic equations, the position and characteristics of an image produced by a converging lens, and test their predictions through inquiry

7. Biology: Big Ideas Plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into systems. Plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into systems. Developments in medicine and medical technology can have social and ethical implications. Developments in medicine and medical technology can have social and ethical implications.

8. Biology: Sample Expectation B2.2 examine cells under a microscope or similar instrument to identify the various stages of mitosis in plants and animals

9. Earth and Space Science: Big Ideas Earth's climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes. Earth's climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes. Global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors. Global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors. Climate change affects living things and natural systems in a variety of ways. Climate change affects living things and natural systems in a variety of ways. People have the responsibility to assess their impact on climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact. People have the responsibility to assess their impact on climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact.
