A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
investigate and identify the transfer of energy by objects in motion, waves in water, and sound;
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Cause-and-effect relationships are relationships between two or more variables or phenomena whereby one variable or event leads to a predictable response. Events have causes—sometimes simple, sometimes multi-faceted.
If a circuit is closed (cause), energy will flow through it and produce motion, light, sound, or thermal energy (effect).
A system is a whole made of parts that work together. It has components and boundaries. It can interact with or be part of other systems.
The system of an electric circuit comprises the battery, wires (conductors), and a device that produces motion, light, sound, or thermal energy. For the circuit to function, the circuit must be closed, and all these components must be connected.
Matter and energy are conserved, changing forms but maintaining quantities. Energy flows within a system or between systems through transfers and transformations. Matter is cycled within systems through physical and chemical processes.
An electric circuit is a system. The energy flows from the battery through the components of the circuit. A device that produces motion, light, sound, or thermal energy transforms the electricity into another form of energy.
