The number of items by sub-idea for each assessment is shown below. The number of items totals to more than are on the assessment because one item may address more than one sub-idea.\u00a0 Although it may appear that some ideas are missing in these tables (for example, sub-idea D in Flow of Matter & Energy), these are teacher ideas and were not included on the student assessments.<\/p>\n

Flow of Matter & Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sub-Ideas:<\/strong><\/td>\nNumber of Items<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Food serves as both fuel (energy source) and building materials for an organism. Sugars are an example of food for both plants and animals, but water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are not.<\/td>\n\n

5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

B.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Using light energy, plants make their own food – in the form of sugars – from carbon dioxide (in the air) and water. Nothing else is required for this process. Oxygen is released as a result.<\/td>\n\n

7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

C.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plants transform light energy into chemical energy in sugars made by the plants.<\/td>\n\n

6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

E.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organisms (including both plants and animals) grow by breaking down food (including sugars made by plants and sugars ingested by animals) into simpler substances which they reassemble into other substances that become part of new or replacement body structures.<\/td>\n\n

6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

F.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organisms (including both plants and animals) break down energy-rich food (such as sugars), using oxygen, into simpler substances with less energy (such as carbon dioxide and water), releasing energy in the process. This process does not require light. Some of this energy from food is used for growth and other body functions, and some is released as heat.<\/td>\n\n

2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

G.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If not used immediately as fuel or building material, food can be stored for later use by plants and animals. In animals, but not in plants, food can also be eliminated from the body as waste.<\/td>\n\n

Force and Motion<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sub-Ideas:<\/strong><\/td>\nNumber of Items<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A force is a push or pull interaction between two objects, and has both magnitude and direction.<\/td>\n\n

2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

B.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All of the forces acting on an object combine through vector addition into a net force; they either balance each other out (net force is zero), or act like an unbalanced force (net force is not zero).<\/td>\n\n

4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

D.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If an object is moving faster and faster, then there is a net force acting on the object in the same direction as the motion.<\/td>\n\n

1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

E.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If an object is moving slower and slower, then there is a net force acting on the object in the direction opposite to the object\u2019s motion.<\/td>\n\n

5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If an object has constant speed in a straight line (or zero speed), then there is no net force acting on the object.\u00a0 This can occur either when the forces on the object are balanced or there are no forces exerted on the object<\/td>\n\n

8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

J.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The force of friction acts to oppose the relative motion of two objects in contact.\u00a0 Friction acts on both objects along the surfaces in contact with each other.\u00a0 The magnitude of friction depends upon the properties of the surfaces and how hard the objects are pushed together.<\/td>\n\n

Plate Tectonics<\/h3>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sub-Ideas:<\/strong><\/td>\nNumber of Items<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The solid outer portion of Earth consists of separate plates of almost entirely solid rock.<\/td>\n\n

8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

C.\u00a0\u00a0 The plates that make up Earth\u2019s surface are constantly moving and changing.<\/td>\n\n

8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

F.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plate motion causes abutting plates to interact with one another along their boundaries resulting in observable geologic features and events.<\/td>\n\n

8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

H.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The rock that makes up plates is slowly being formed at some plate boundaries.\u00a0 Rock that makes up the plates is returned to Earth\u2019s interior at other plate boundaries.\u00a0 This means that Earth is not changing in size.<\/td>\n\n
