SCIENCE.7.7.A — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

S.3.8.B

plan and conduct investigations that demonstrate how the speed of an object is related to its mechanical energy.

S.7.7.A

calculate average speed using distance and time measurements from investigations;

S.7.7.B

distinguish between speed and velocity in linear motion in terms of distance, displacement, and direction;

S.7.7.C

measure, record, and interpret an object's motion using distance-time graphs; and

IPC.5.A

investigate, analyze, and model motion in terms of position, velocity, acceleration, and time using tables, graphs, and mathematical relationships;

IPC.5.B

analyze data to explain the relationship between mass and acceleration in terms of the net force on an object in one dimension using force diagrams, tables, and graphs;

PHYS.5.A

analyze different types of motion by generating and interpreting position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time using hand graphing and real-time technology such as motion detectors, photogates, or digital applications;

PHYS.5.B

define scalar and vector quantities related to one- and two-dimensional motion and combine vectors using both graphical vector addition and the Pythagorean theorem;

PHYS.5.C

describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, velocity, frames of reference, and acceleration;

PHYS.5.D

describe and analyze acceleration in uniform circular and horizontal projectile motion in two dimensions using equations;

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
