The composition and
properties of Earth’s interior are identified by the behavior of
seismic waves.
Earth’s crust
consists of major and minor tectonic plates that move relative to each
other.
A combination of
constructive and destructive geologic processes formed Earth’s
surface.
Evidence of the
dynamic changes of Earth’s surface through time is found in the
geologic record.
Physical Science
Forces and Motion
Some forces between
objects act when the objects are in direct contact or when they are
not touching.
Forces have
magnitude and direction.
There are different
types of potential energy.

Species and Reproduction
Diversity of species
occurs through gradual processes over many generations. Fossil records
provide evidence that changes have occurred in number and types of
species.
Reproduction is
necessary for the continuation of every species.
The characteristics
of an organism are a result of inherited traits received from parent(s).
