MS-PS1-1 Matter and Its Interactions
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. |
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete depiction of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Scale, Proportion, and Quantity:
- Time, space, and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small.
|
Developing and Using Models:
- Modeling in 6â8 builds on Kâ5 and progresses to developing, using and revising models to describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design systems.
- Develop a model to predict and/or describe phenomena.
|
Structure and Properties of Matter:
- Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways.
- Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms.
- Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals).
