Scientific Inquiry	Safety Tools Measurement Scientific Process   SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY         Scientific inquiry requires the sharing of findings and ideas for critical review by colleagues and other scientists   Read, interpret and examine the credibility and validity of scientific claims in different sources of information. SCIENTIFIC LITERACY      Scientific literacy also includes the ability to search for and assess the relevance and credibility of scientific information found in various print and electronic media.     Assess the reliability of the data that was generated in the investigation. SCIENTIFIC LITERACY Scientific literacy includes the ability to read, write, discuss and present coherent ideas about science.  Scientific literacy also includes the ability to search for and assess the relevance and credibility of scientific information found in various print and electronic media.

Structure of Matter	Properties of Matter – How does the structure of matter affect the properties and uses of materials? 6.1 - Materials can be classified as pure substances or mixtures, depending on their chemical and physical properties. ¨      Mixtures are made of combinations of elements and/or compounds, and they can be separated by using a variety of physical means. Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, and they cannot be broken down by physical means.	Atoms Powerpoint Periodic Table Mixtures,Elements,Compounds	Chromatography Lab Labs and Activites: Ooblek Phases of Matter Mapping the atom Models of atoms White mystery Powders Physical and chemical reactions Sellement project student notes Atoms Intro to chemistry Power point Model of an Atom
The Structure of the Earth	7.3 Landforms are the result of the interaction of constructive and destructive forces over time. ·        Volcanic activity and the folding and faulting of rock layers during the shifting of Earth’s crust affect the formation of mountains, ridges and valleys.	All unit material For Forces of Change found here.	Unit activities and notes Sun ,Moon and Earth student notes
Earth's Atmosphere	Energy in the Earth’s Systems – How do external and internal sources of energy affect the Earth’s systems? 6.3 - Variations in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the Earth’s surface affect daily and seasonal weather patterns.  Local and regional weather are affected by the amount of solar energy these areas receive and by their proximity to a large body of water.	All Unit material found here Weather Weather Intro	Sun, Moon, and Earth student notes Traveling through the layers Severe Storm Safety Brochure
Astronomical Structures	Energy in the Earth’s Systems – How do external and internal sources of energy affect the Earth’s systems? 6.3 Variation in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the Earth’s surface affects daily and seasonal weather patterns.  Local and regional weather are affected by the amount of solar energy the area receives and proximity to a large body of water.	All unit material found here Astronomy Everything Under our Sun	Astronomy student notes astronomy notes Can you buid it space suit lab
Agents of Change	7.3.b Glaciation, weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface by moving earth materials from place to place. C18. Describe how folded and faulted rock layers provide evidence of gradual up and down motion of the Earth’s crust. C19. Explain how glaciation, weathering and erosion create and shape valleys and floodplains.	National Park Instructions Summary of Student Assignments	National Park Virtual Vacation intercurricular project Geological Fact sheet A Geological Fact sheet B Geological Trek of Connecticut
Your Hydrosphere	Science and Technology in Society – How do science and technology affect the quality of our lives? 6.4 - Water moving across and through earth materials carries with it the products of human activities.       Most precipitation that falls on Connecticut eventually reaches Long Island Sound.
