Welcome to the Sample Unit Progressions and corresponding resources for Physical Science. These resources were developed and identified by Oklahoma educators to support instruction aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science (OAS-S) and are connected to the Physical Science Bundled Standards Analyses. Recommendations are not intended to be an exhaustive listing of instructional possibilities

 

Check out this Guide to the Sample Unit Progressions for more details about each component in the unit.

Unit 1: Structure, Properties, and Reactions of Matter

(Instructional Resources)


Suggested Timeline: 7-9 weeks

 


Structure, Properties, and Reactions of Matter Bundle Analysis

 

How does chemistry explain the observations we see in the world around us?

How can a model illustrate the relationship between the structure, properties, and interaction of matter?

 

How can models and the structure of atoms be used as evidence to explain why particles can combine to make new substances?

 

How can mathematical models be used to represent the laws of conservation of mass and matter?

 

How can scientific reasoning be used to explain the effect of changing the temperature or concentration of reactants on the outcome of a chemical reaction?

PS.PS1.1 Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

 

PS.PS1.2 Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties, and formation of compounds.

 

PS.PS1.5 Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

 

PS.PS1.7 Use mathematical representation to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

Unit 2: Forces, Motion, and Field Interactions

(Instructional Resources)


Suggested Timeline: 7-9 weeks

 

 


Forces, Motion, and Field Interactions Bundle Analysis

 

How can we explain and predict the interaction of objects, systems of objects, and/or fields? 

How can you predict an object's continued motion, change in motion, or stability?

 

How can one explain the conservation of momentum within a closed system?

 

How can one reduce the force of a collision?

 

How are electrical and magnetic fields created, and how do they affect one another?  

PS.PS2.1 Analyze and interpret data to support the claim of a causal relationship between the net force on an object and its change in motion as described in Newton’s second law of motion. 

 

PS.PS2.2 Use mathematical representations to support the explanation that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.

 

PS.PS2.3 Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.*

 

PS.PS2.5 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can cause a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can cause an electric current.

Unit 3: Wave Properties and Electromagnetic Radiation

(Instructional Resources)


Suggested Timeline: 7-9 weeks

 


Wave Properties and Electromagnetic Radiation Bundle Analysis

 

How is electromagnetic radiation a part of our lives? 

How can we describe the characteristic properties and behaviors of waves?

 

How had technology impacted the transfer and storage of information?

 

How do electromagnetic waves affect living things and the environment? 

PS.PS4.1 Use mathematical representations to explain both qualitative and quantitative relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. 

 

PS.PS4.2 Evaluate questions about the advantages and disadvantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information.*

 

PS.PS4.4 Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.

Unit 4: Energy - Definitions, Conservation, and Transfer

(Instructional Resources)


Suggested Timeline: 7-9 weeks

 


Energy: Definitions, Conservation, and Transfer Bundle Analysis

 

How is energy conserved and transferred within or between systems? 

How does energy flow or transfer within or in and out of a system?

 

How are an object's position and motion of its particles related to the total energy of the object?

 

How can energy conversions be used to perform a desired task?

 

How do parts of a system reach thermal equilibrium? 

PS.PS3.1 Create a computational model to calculate the change in energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. 

 

PS.PS3.2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields.

 

PS.PS3.3 Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.*

 

PS.PS3.4 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).
