No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • HS.CHEM.2.6
    Communicate scientific and technical information about the molecular-level structures of polymers, ionic compounds, acids and bases, and metals to justify why these are useful in the functioning of designed materials.* Clarification Statement: Examples could include comparing molecules with simple molecular geometries; analyzing how pharmaceuticals are designed to interact with specific receptors; and considering why electrically conductive materials are often made of metal, household cleaning products often contain ionic compounds to make materials soluble in water, or materials that need to be flexible but durable are made up of polymers. State Assessment Boundary: State assessment will be limited to comparing substances of the same type with one compositional or structural feature different.
  • HS.ETS.3.4
    Use a model to illustrate how the forces of tension, compression, torsion, and shear affect the performance of a structure. Analyze situations that involve these forces and justify the selection of materials for the given situation based on their properties. Clarification Statements: Examples of structures include bridges, houses, and skyscrapers. Examples of material properties can include elasticity, plasticity, thermal conductivity, density, and resistance to force.

Same Level Standards:

  • RCA-ST.6-8.3
    Follow precisely a multi-step procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
  • 6.ETS.2.1
    Analyze and compare properties of metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics, including flexibility, ductility, hardness, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and melting point.
  • 6.ETS.2.3
    Choose and safely use appropriate measuring tools, hand tools, fasteners, and common hand-held power tools used to construct a prototype.* Clarification Statements: Examples of measuring tools include a tape measure, a meter stick, and a ruler. Examples of hand tools include a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench, and pliers. Examples of fasteners include nails, screws, nuts and bolts, staples, glue, and tape. Examples of common power tools include jigsaw, drill, and sander.
