Physics Standard List


List of standards grouped by standard group and ordered by Dewey hierarchy.
Preamble

Physical Science is a conceptual, inquiry-based course that investigates the basic concepts of chemistry and physics, including energy, waves, electricity and magnetism, atomic structure, nuclear chemistry, matter, and solutions. This course is designed to prepare students for further studies in chemistry and physics by building upon content knowledge, including chemical bonding and reactions and Newton’s laws of motion, from Grade 8 Physical Science. In this course, students use evidence from their own investigations and the work of others to develop and refine knowledge of the disciplinary core ideas. They apply mathematical and language skills to create increasingly more sophisticated model-based explanations and arguments. The standards promote a depth of conceptual understanding and scientific literacy that will adequately prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. Various resources, including those specific to the local area and evidence-based literature found within scientific publications, should be used to extend and increase the complexity of the core ideas. Content standards are organized according to the disciplinary core ideas for the physical science domain. The first core idea, “Matter and Its Interactions,” deals with the substances and processes of the universe on microscopic and macroscopic levels. The second one, “Energy,” involves conserving energy, energy transformations, and energy applications to everyday life. The third core idea, “Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer,” examines wave properties, electromagnetic radiation, information technologies, and instrumentation. Embedded in the content standards are the disciplinary core ideas of the Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science (ETS) domain, which require students to use design strategies in conjunction with knowledge and understanding of science and technology to solve practical problems. Engineering standards are denoted with a gear icon . Through participation in the engineering design process, students use data to justify the selection of a particular material for a specific application and evaluate the effects of using ions or isotopes of elements as a solution to a complex real-world problem.

Preamble
-Physics is a physical science course that provides high school students with foundational content regarding the properties of physical matter, physical quantities, and their interactions. The course provides the required science background preparation for students pursuing postsecondary studies and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

In Physics, students learn through investigation, experimentation, and analysis of data. The academic language of physics is used in context to communicate claims, evidence, and reasoning for phenomena and to engage in arguments from evidence to justify and defend claims. Students take part in active learning involving authentic investigations and engineering design processes. The course provides a rich learning context for acquiring knowledge of the practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts that develop scientific literacy and critical thinking, problem-solving, and information literacy skills. External resources, including evidence-based literature in scientific journals, research, and other sources, should be utilized to provide students with science experiences that will adequately prepare them for college, career, and citizenship.

Content standards within this course are organized according to three of the disciplinary core ideas for physical science. The first core idea, “Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions,” concentrates on forces and motion, types of interactions, and stability and instability in physical systems. The second core idea, “Energy,” investigates energy conservation, transformations, and applications to everyday life. The final core idea, “Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer,” examines wave properties, electromagnetic radiation, information technologies, and instrumentation.

Embedded in the content standards are the disciplinary core ideas of the Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science (ETS) domain, which require students to use design strategies in conjunction with knowledge and understanding of science and technology to solve practical problems. Engineering standards are denoted with a gear icon . Through participation in the engineering design process, students design solutions to determine the magnitude and direction of the buoyant force acting on an object and the force’s effects on the object's motion.

This course is designed to provide students with a deep exploration of kinematics, dynamics, and conservation, while also surveying circular motion, waves, fluids, and electricity.
