| Concept | Definition | Competency |
|---|---|---|
| Define the scientific method | Using an organized approach to find answers to complex questions. Forming a hypothesis from observation, and then testing it by experiment. | 102.5.01.01 Scientific Concepts |
| Recognize how systems and subsystems can be used as a conceptual frameowrk to organize and unify the common themes of schience and technology | (blank) | 102.5.01.04 |
| Recognize how concepts and process (e.g. evidence, models, explanation, evolution, and equilibrium) provide a unifying framework across the science disciplines | (blank) | 102.5.01.05 |
| evidence | (blank) | 102.5.01.05 |
| models | (blank) | 102.5.01.05 |
| explanation | (blank) | 102.5.01.05 |
| evolution | Patterns emerging and leading to new outcomes hile providing a starting point | 102.5.01.05 |
| equilibrium | (blank)the outcome of the processes may always remain between boundaries an may even eventually settle to a particular outcome. | 102.5.01.05 |
| Recognize how properties and patterns of systems can be described in terms of space, time, energy, and matter | (blank) | 102.5.01.06 |

| Landforms | came into being by volcanic activity, shifting of tectonic plates, movement of glaciers, erosion, deposit of sediment, impact of meeorites | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Isthmus | Narrow strip of land connecting 2 land masses | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Caldera | Depression caused by volcanic collapse | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Strait | Narrow body of water connecting 2 larger bodies of water | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Estuary | Funnel shaped inlet of sea at the mouth of a river | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Moraine | layer of glacial till | 102.5.4.20 |
| Landforms - Archipelago | chain of islands clustered together in a sea or ocean | 102.5.4.20 |
| Prop. of Rocks - Density | (blank) | 102.5.4.47 |
| Prop. of Rockes - Luster | how well the mineral reflects light (metallic tends to have more luster | 102.5.4.47 |
| Prop. of Rocks Color | seen by naked eye when under direct light | 203.5.4.47 |
| Prop of Rocks - Streak | color of powder residue left behind when rubbed against hard surface | 102.5.4.47 |

| Prop of Rocks - Cleavage | how it will split along fracture lines in its structure | 102.5.4.47 |
| Define Plate tectonics | Large ridig areas of Earth's lithosphere that float atop the moreviscons asthenospher sometimes colliding with one another, sometimes sliding past one another, and stometimes drawing away from one another. | 102.5.4.22 |
| Define and decribe gravity | Causes objects to fall, it is only attractive, gravitatioal force exerted between 2 objects depends on how far apart the two objects are from each other. | 102.5.4.18 |
| Weathering | Breaking down of rocks into sediment by wind waves, or water | 102.5.4.21 |
| Erosion | Movement of sediment by wind, waves or water | 102.5.4.21 |
| Deposition | Settling out of sediment from wind or water | 102.5.4.21 |
| Frost Shattering | Expansion and contraction of water that causes rocks to fracture | 102.5.4.21 |
| Transportation | Carrying of sediment in soluton or suspension of water | 102.5.4.21 |
