Cross Cutting Concepts
Cause and Effect
*Cause and effect relationships can be suggested and predicted for complex natural systems by examining what is known about smaller scale mechanisms within the system.

Energy and Matter
*Changes of energy and matter in a system can be described in terms of energy and matter flows into, out of, and within that system.

Structure and Function
*The function and properties of natural and designed objects and systems can be inferred from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of its various materials.

Looking Back Looking Ahead
Describe the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. (7.PS.2) The student is able to use aspects of particulate models (i.e., particle spacing, motion, and forces of attraction) to reason about observed differences between solid and liquid phases and among solid and liquid materials.
