6.P Physical Sciences

6.P1U1.1 Analyze and interpret data to show that changes in states of matter are caused by different rates of movement of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases (Kinetic Theory).
- Particle motion and changes of state (6-J.2)
6.P1U1.2 Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate that variations in temperature and/or pressure affect changes in state of matter.
6.P1U1.3 Develop and use models to represent that matter is made up of smaller particles called atoms.
6.P2U1.4 Develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance.
6.P4U2.5 Analyze how humans use technology to store (potential) and/or use (kinetic) energy.

6.E Earth and Space Sciences

6.E1U1.6 Investigate and construct an explanation demonstrating that radiation from the Sun provides energy and is absorbed to warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
- The greenhouse effect (6-FF.1)
6.E2U1.7 Use ratios and proportions to analyze and interpret data related to scale, properties, and relationships among objects in our solar system.
- Analyze data to compare properties of planets (6-HH.4)
6.E2U1.8 Develop and use models to explain how constellations and other night sky patterns appear to move due to Earth's rotation and revolution.
6.E2U1.9 Develop and use models to construct an explanation of how eclipses, moon phases, and tides occur within the Sun-Earth-Moon system.
- Analyze models of the Earth-Sun-Moon system (6-HH.1)
- Identify phases of the Moon (6-HH.2)
6.E2U1.10 Use a model to show how the tilt of Earth's axis causes variations in the length of the day and gives rise to seasons.
- What causes the seasons on Earth? (6-HH.3)

6.L Life Sciences

6.L2U3.11 Use evidence to construct an argument regarding the impact of human activities on the environment and how they positively and negatively affect the competition for energy and resources in ecosystems.
- Evaluate claims about natural resource use: groundwater (6-Z.1)
- Evaluate claims about natural resource use: fossil fuels (6-Z.2)
6.L2U3.12 Engage in argument from evidence to support a claim about the factors that cause species to change and how humans can impact those factors.
6.L2U1.13 Develop and use models to demonstrate the interdependence of organisms and their environment including biotic and abiotic factors.
6.L2U1.14 Construct a model that shows the cycling of matter and flow of energy in ecosystems.
