Common Core English Language Arts Standards Reading Informational Tet Craft and Structure RI.6.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a tet, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings. Writing Tet Types and Purposes W.6.1 Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. W.6.2 Write informative/eplanatory tets to eamine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content. Production and Distribution of Writing W.6.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. Speaking and Listening Comprehension and Collaboration SL.6.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (oneon-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 6 topics, tets, and issues, building on others ideas and epressing their own clearly. Net Generation Science Standards Matter and Its Interactions MS-PS1-2 Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Engineering and Design MS-ETS1-2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. National Science Standards Science as Inquiry Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry Identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations. Design and conduct a scientific investigation. Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data. Develop descriptions, eplanations, predictions, and models using evidence.

Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and eplanations. Communicate scientific procedures and eplanations. Physical Science Properties and changes of properties in matter A substance has characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, and solubility, all of which are independent of the amount of the sample. A miture of substances often can be separated into the original substances using one or more of the characteristic properties. Substances react chemically in characteristic ways with other substances to form new substances (compounds) with different characteristic properties. In chemical reactions, the total mass is conserved. Substances often are placed in categories or groups if they react in similar ways. Chemical elements do not break down during normal laboratory reactions involving such treatments as heating, eposure to electric current, or reactions with acids. There are more than 100 known elements that combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds, which account for the living and nonliving substances that we encounter. Science and Technology Abilities of technological design Identify appropriate problems for technological design. Design a solution or product. Implement a proposed design. Evaluate completed technological designs or products. Communicate the process of technological design. Understanding about science and technology Scientific inquiry and technological design have similarities and differences. Scientists propose eplanations for questions about the natural world, and engineers propose solutions relating to human problems, needs, and aspirations. Technological solutions are temporary; technologies eist within nature and so they cannot contravene physical or biological principles; technological solutions have side effects; and technologies cost, carry risks, and provide benefits. Science and technology are reciprocal. Science helps drive technology, as it addresses questions that demand more sophisticated instruments and provides principles for better instrumentation and technique. Technology is essential to science, because it provides instruments and techniques that enable observations of objects and phenomena that are otherwise unobservable due to factors such as quantity, distance, location, size and speed. Technology also provides tools for investigations, inquiry, and analysis. Perfectly designed solutions do not eist. All technological solutions have trade-offs, such as safety, cost, efficiency, and appearance. Engineers often build in back-up systems to provide safety. Risk is part of living in a highly technological world. Reducing risk often results in new technology. Technological designs have constraints. Some constraints are unavoidable, for eample, properties of materials, or effects of weather and friction; other constraints limit choices in the design, for eample, environmental protection, human safety, and aesthetics.
