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
S.K.8.B
demonstrate and explain that light travels through some objects and is blocked by other objects, creating shadows.
S.3.8.A
identify everyday examples of energy, including light, sound, thermal, and mechanical; and
S.5.8.C
demonstrate and explain how light travels in a straight line and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed.
IPC.7.D
explain how electrons can transition from a high energy level to a low energy state, emitting photons at different frequencies for different energy transitions;
PHYS.9.A
describe the photoelectric effect and emission spectra produced by various atoms and how both are explained by the photon model for light;
PHYS.8.F
investigate the emission spectra produced by various atoms and explain the relationship to the electromagnetic spectrum; and
PHYS.8.G
describe and predict image formation as a consequence of reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a thin convex lens.
PHYS.9.D
give examples of applications of quantum phenomena, including the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum computing, and cybersecurity.
