Curriculum

Integrated Science three
Course Content
A. Major Concepts/Content. This purpose of this course is to provide opportunities to investigate the theories and ideas associated with the biological, earth, and physical sciences in a way that is relevant and usable. Students construct science knowledge by formulating questions, making predictions, planning experiments, making observations, classifying, interpreting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and communicating.
The content should include, but not be limited to, the following:
- the nature of science
- the nature of matter
- energy
- force and motion
- processes that shape the Earth
- Earth and space
- processes of life
- how living things react with their environment
B. Special Note. This is the third course in a three-course series that also includes
Integrated Science I (2002400) and Integrated Science II (2002420). The Integrated Science course series develops comprehensive concepts in science in an integrated and spiraling curriculum. This series addresses all of the Sunshine State Standards for Science at the high school level.
Districts/schools that use this course description are expected to provide more detailed instructional guidelines and curriculum.
Laboratory investigations that include the use of the scientific method, measurement, laboratory apparatus, and appropriate safety procedures are an integral part of this course.
C. Course Requirements. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the benchmarks from the Sunshine State Standards that are most relevant to this course.
Benchmarks correlated with a specific course requirement may also be addressed by other course requirements as appropriate. Some requirements in this course are not addressed in the Sunshine State Standards.
Benchmarks from Science, Strand H, should not be taught and assessed in isolation, but should be combined with other benchmarks listed for this course.
After successfully completing this course, the student will:
1. Apply knowledge of the nature of science and scientific habits of mind to solve problems, and employ safe and effective use of laboratory technology.
SC.H.2.4.2 know that scientists control conditions in order to obtain evidence, but when that is not possible for practical or ethical reasons, they try to observe a wide range of natural occurrences to discern patterns.
SC.H.3.4.4 know that funds for science research come from federal government agencies, industry, and private foundations and that this funding often influences the areas of discovery.
2. Analyze the principles of energy.
SC.B.1.4.1 understand how knowledge of energy is fundamental to all the scientific disciplines (e.g., the energy required for biological processes in living organisms and the energy required for the building, erosion, and rebuilding of the Earth).
SC.B.1.4.2 understands that there is conservation of mass and energy when matter is transformed.
SC.B.1.4.3 knows that temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of motion of the molecules in an object.
SC.B.1.4.4 knows that as electrical charges oscillate, they create time varying electric and magnetic fields that propagate away from the source as an electromagnetic wave.

A. A working definition of matter is that it takes up space, has mass, and has measurable properties. Matter is comprised of atomic, subatomic, and elementary particles.
B. Electrons are key to defining chemical and some physical properties, reactivity, and molecular structures. Repeating (periodic) patterns of physical and chemical properties occur among elements that define groups of elements with similar properties.

Standard 1: The student recognizes that energy may be changed in form with varying efficiency.
SC.B.1.4.1 The student understands how knowledge of energy is fundamental to all the scientific disciplines (e.g., the energy required for biological processes in living organisms and the energy required for the building, erosion, and rebuilding of the Earth). (Also assesses SC.B.1.4.2) AA
A. Energy:
1. Define energy as storage and transfer mechanism
2. Describe the Law of Conservation of Energy.
3. Connect the previous topics to The Law of the Conservation of Energy, i.e. the Big Bang and the subsequent formation of the universe.

B. Work:
1. Relate mechanical energy to work.
2. Understand that no energy is 100% efficient – some energy is always emitted as heat (friction).
· List the types of energy
· Explain the transfer from one type of energy to another
· Calculate potential and kinetic energy
· Describe the Law of Conservation of Energy and apply it to real life examples
· Identify simple machines
· Calculate power, mechanical advantage and efficiency of machines
· Predict how much of a mechanical advantage would be gained by using simple machines
· Predict which simple machines would work the best in real life situations

EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
Standard 7: Earth Systems and Patterns
The scientific theory of the evolution of Earth states that changes in our planet are driven by the flow of energy and the cycling of matter through dynamic interactions among the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere, and the resources used to sustain human civilization on Earth.
