A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
communicate the idea that objects can only be seen when a light source is present and compare the effects of different amounts of light on the appearance of objects; and
explain how electrons can transition from a high energy level to a low energy state, emitting photons at different frequencies for different energy transitions;
describe and predict image formation as a consequence of reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a thin convex lens.

compare and explain how superposition of quantum states is related to the wave-particle duality nature of light; and
PHYS.9.C — Breakout of skills
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
The student is expected to
compare how superposition of quantum states is related to the wave-particle duality nature of light
explain how superposition of quantum states is related to the wave-particle duality nature of light
