Standard 4, 1 Follow safety procedures in the classroom and laboratory.

Standard 4, 2 Safely and accurately use the following tool: metric ruler.

Standard 4, 3 Use appropriate units for measured or calculated values.

Physical Setting Skills, 15 Determine the electrical conductivity of a material using a simple circuit.

Standard 1, M1.1c Apply mathematical equations to describe relationships among variables in the natural world.

Standard 1, S2.1a Demonstrate appropriate safety techniques.

Standard 1, S2.1b Conduct an experiment design by others.

Standard 1, S2.1d Use appropriate tools and conventional techniques to solve problems about the natural world, including: measuring, observing, describing.

Standard 1, T1.3a Generate ideas for alternative solutions.

Standard 1, T1.2b Evaluate alternatives based on the constraints of design.

Standard 6, 2.2 Use models to study processes that cannot be studied directly (e.g., when the real process is too slow, too fast, or too dangerous for direct observation).

Standard 6, 3.2 Use powers of ten notation to represent very small and very large numbers.

3.1a Substances have characteristic properties. Some of these properties include color, odor, hardness, and boiling and freezing points.

3.1h Density can be described as the amount of matter that is in a given amount of space.

3.3a All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are far too small to see with a light microscope.

3.3c Atoms may join together in well-defined molecules or may be arranged in regular geometric patterns.

4.4b Light passes through some materials, sometimes refracting in the process. Materials absorb and reflect light, and may transmit light.

4.4e Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy.
