NGSS Physical Sciences4Energy4-PS3-4Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday LifeThe expression “produce energy” typically refers to the conversion of stored energy into a desired form for practical use.
NGSS Physical Sciences4Energy4-ESS3-1Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
NGSS Physical Sciences4EnergyESS3.ANatural ResourcesEnergy and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources, and their use affects the environment in multiple ways. Some resources are renewable over time, and others are not.
NGSS Physical Sciences5Structure and Properties of Matter5-PS1-1Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
NGSS Physical Sciences5Structure and Properties of Matter5-PS1-AMatter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. A model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon; the effects of air on larger particles or objects.
