Standards Alignment
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) closely aligned with Common Core disciplinary literacy expectations:
- 5-PS1-1: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to see. (Foundation for wave particle ideas)
- 5-PS2-1: Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down. (Supports understanding forces underlying waves through vibrations)
- MS-PS4-1 (Advanced integration): Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.3: Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals, events, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text based on specific information
