            • Introduction - MST4.C.C.PS4.Introduction:
              Throughout history, humankind has tried to effectively use and convert various forms of energy. Energy is used to do work that makes life more productive and enjoyable. The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy applies to phase changes, chemical changes, and nuclear changes that help run our modern world. With a complete understanding of these processes and their application to the modern world comes a responsibility to take care of waste, limit pollution, and decrease potential risks.

              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.1a:
                Energy can exist in different forms, such as chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, and nuclear.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.1b:
                Chemical and physical changes can be exothermic or endothermic.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.1c:
                Energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction can be represented by a potential energy diagram.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.1d:
                Energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction (heat of reaction) is equal to the difference between the potential energy of the products and potential energy of the reactants.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2a:
                Heat is a transfer of energy (usually thermal energy) from a body of higher temperature to a body of lower temperature. Thermal energy is the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2b:
                Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of material. Temperature is not a form of energy.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2c:
                The concepts of kinetic and potential energy can be used to explain physical processes that include: fusion (melting), solidification (freezing), vaporization (boiling, evaporation), condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4a:
                Each radioactive isotope has a specific mode and rate of decay (half-life).
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4b:
                Nuclear reactions include natural and artificial transmutation, fission, and fusion.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4c:
                Nuclear reactions can be represented by equations that include symbols which represent atomic nuclei (with mass number and atomic number), subatomic particles (with mass number and charge), and/or emissions such as gamma radiation.
                Assessments
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4d:
                Radioactive isotopes have many beneficial uses. Radioactive isotopes are used in medicine and industrial chemistry for radioactive dating, tracing chemical and biological processes, industrial measurement, nuclear power, and detection and treatment of diseases.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4e:
                There are inherent risks associated with radioactivity and the use of radioactive isotopes. Risks can include biological exposure, long-term storage and disposal, and nuclear accidents.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.4f:
                There are benefits and risks associated with fission and fusion reactions.
