TECHNOLOGICAL SCIENCE
Students will develop abilities necessary to distinguish between naturally occurring objects and those of human design, and they will develop understanding of the roles of science and technology in contemporary society.
Content Standard 6.0
ECOLOGY
Students will develop an understanding of personal and community health, of the characteristics of changing populations, of the ecology of and uses of natural resources, of changes in environments, and of the use of science and technology in addressing
present-day local and global challenges.

Content Standard 1.0
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS:
Students will develop skills such as stress management, problem solving, impulse control, anger management, conflict resolution, decision-making, peer pressure resistance, and communication skills to avoid destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, high risk sexual activity, school dropout, violence and negative peer pressure.
Content Standard 2.0
PROMOTION OF EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH:
Students will develop pro-social attitudes and values about themselves and their peers, families, school, and the community, develop an effective approach to their work and responsibilities, and will understand how to obtain support from individuals and formal service providers.
Performance Standard 2.1
Students will work with many types of geometric figures and their properties, including angles (right, obtuse, acute), triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, polygons, prisms, pyramids, cubes, circles and spheres.
a. Students will identify by name many different geometric shapes.
b. Students will recognize geometric shapes by their specific shape properties (e.g. symmetry).
c. Students will identify and recognize the different types of angles as component parts of geometric shapes.
d. Students will solve problems by showing relationships between and among figures, e.g. using congruence and similarity and using
transformations, including flips, slides, and rotations.
e. Students will extend and create geometric patterns using concrete and pictorial models.
Performance Standard 2.2
Students will use basic ways of measuring the size of figures, including length, width, perimeter and area.
a. Students will select and use appropriate units for measuring quantities such as weight, length, area, volume and time.
b. Students will carry out simple unit conversions, such as between centimeters and meters and between hours and minutes.
c. Students will measure and create a scale in maps or scale drawings using the idea of constant ratio.
Performance Standard 2.3
Students will use models to reason about the relationship between the perimeter and the area of rectangles in simple situations.
Content Standard 5.0
PROBLEM SOLVING AND MATHEMATICAL REASONING:
Problem solving concepts and strategies lie at the heart of mathematics. Students will utilize them in the formulation of problems and the solution of problems. They will appropriately test problem conclusions against conditions. They will reason mathematically.
Content Standard 1.0
READING:
Students will demonstrate developmentally appropriate, strategic reading behaviors in order to construct meaning, retell and
read fluently
Content Standard 2.0
WRITING
Students will progress along a developmental continuum as they become skilled writers.
Content Standard 5.0
VIEWING:
Students will develop strategic viewing skills by interpreting and constructing meaning from visual resources.
