PHYS.9 — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
communicate the idea that objects can only be seen when a light source is present and compare the effects of different amounts of light on the appearance of objects; and
demonstrate and explain that light travels through some objects and is blocked by other objects, creating shadows.
identify everyday examples of energy, including light, sound, thermal, and mechanical; and
demonstrate and explain how light travels in a straight line and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed.
explain how electrons can transition from a high energy level to a low energy state, emitting photons at different frequencies for different energy transitions;
investigate the emission spectra produced by various atoms and explain the relationship to the electromagnetic spectrum; and
