Virginia Standards of Learning

Chemistry.1 The student will investigate and understand that experiments in which variables are measured, analyzed, and evaluated, produce observations and verifiable data. Key concepts include:

• Multiple variables are manipulated with repeated trials;
• Accurate recording, organizing, and analysis of data through repeated trials

Physical Science.1 The student will plan and conduct investigations in which:

• Length, mass, volume, density, temperature, weight and force are accurately measured and reported using the International System of Units (SI - metric)

Physical Science.2 The student will investigate and understand the basic nature of matter. Key concepts include:

• Characteristics of matter based on physical and chemical properties (shape, odor, shape, density, solubility, odor melting point, boiling point)
