Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass. || Understand and apply knowledge of sound, light, electricity, magnetism and heat. || Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. Electricity can only flow through a closed circuit. Magnets attract and repel each other and certain kinds of other materials. || Peggy Hansen (phansen@griswoldschools.org )

|| Sound is produced when vibrations from objects travel through a medium and are received. Sound can vary in volume. The pitch of a sound can be varied by changing the rate of vibration. || Peggy Hansen (phansen@griswoldschools.org ):
 * Light is a form of energy that reacts and changes || Understand and apply knowledge of sound, light, electricity magnetism and heat. || Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by an object.

 * Materials can exist in different states ||  || Materials can exist in different states - solid, liquid, gas.

|| Some common materials can be changed from one state to another by heating and cooling || Barb Wolfe (bwolfe@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):
 * Materials exist in three different states-solid, liquid, and gas and can change from one state to another. || Understands properties and changes in properties of matter. || Materials can exist in different states - solid, liquid, gas.

||
 * The world operates by motions and forces. || Forces are related to an object's motion || Understand and apply knowledge of how forces are related to an object's motion. || Veronica McKee(vmckee@griswoldschools.org ):

||
 * How is energy transferred from one object to another? || Understands and applies knowledge of transfer of energy || Many forms of energy transfer are prevalent in our world. This unit addresses the transfer of many energy sources. || Lori Tiarks tiarksl@ahst.k12.ia.us :

||
 * Materials can exist in different states and can change from one state to another. || Benchmark: Understand and apply knowledge of how to describe and identify substances based on characteristic properties.

Benchmark: Understand and apply knowledge of the concept of conservation of mass/matter. || · It may be necessary to use magnification to observe the component parts of some materials. · A substance has characteristic properties. A mixture of substances often can be separated into the original substances using one or more of the characteristic properties. · The properties of a substance can be measured using tools and technology. · When a new material (compound) is made by chemically combining two or more materials, it has properties that are different from the original materials. For that reason, many different materials can be made from a small number of basic materials.

When something is broken into parts, the parts have the same total mass as the original item. || Donna Oster (doster@griswoldschools.org )

||
 * Even though some things change, other things stay the same. || Benchmark: Understand and apply knowledge of:
 * elements, compounds, mixtures, and solutions based on the nature of their physical and chemical properties. || A substance has characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, solubility, all of which are independent of the amount in the sample. A mixture of substances often can be seperated into the original substances using one or more of the characteristic properties. || Megan Schaaf (mschaaf@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):

||
 * What causes motion and how is it measured? || Understands and applies knowledge of motion and forces ||  || Lori Tiarks tiarksl@ahst.k12.ia.us :

||
 * Forces affect motion. || Understand and apply knowledge of how forces are related to an object's motion. || -The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed. That motion can be measured and represented on a graph.

-Changes in speed or direction of motion are caused by forces. The greater the force, the greater the change in motion. The more massive an object, the less effect a given force will have in changing its motion. ||< Pella (Jill Parsons pcjejmp@pella.k12.ia.us, Josh Steenhoeck pcjejrs@pella.k12.ia.us Cari Pingel pcjekbp@pella.k12.ia.us ):

||
 * An object can be described in many ways. More than one force can act on an object at one time. ||  ||   || Michelle Harris (mharris@anita.k12.ia.us ):

||
 * Electricity is energy that can be static or current. || Understands and applies knowledge of light, heat, electricity and magnetism. || Heat can move from one object to another. Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, an magnetic effects. Electric circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass. || Melissa Nielson (nielsonm@ahst.k12.ia.us ):

||
 * Light is a form of energy that travels through space and can change. || Understands and applies knowledge of light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. || Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. LIght can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed by an object. || Melissa Nielson (nielsonm@ahst.k12.ia.us ):
