Energy is transferred into a circuit from a solar panel, which powers a lightbulb to produce light energy so that we can see. Name that CCC which can be used to study this?

• Change and Stability

• Scale, proportion, and quantity

• Systems and system models

• Energy and Matter

• Cause and Effect

Scale, Proportion and Quantity is one of the CCCs. Is the fly in the picture scaled up, scaled down, or normal size?

• Scaled up, flies are definitely not that small compared to people.

• Scaled down, flies are way bigger than a human eye.

• It looks normal to me!

This CCC is one example of how scientists are able to classify living organisms based on things like size, lifespan and numbers in a population.

• Change and Stability

• Scale, proportion, and quantity

• Systems and system models

• Energy and Matter

• Cause and Effect

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Which one of these situations represents cause and effect?

• If I eat a lot of junk food, I will feel sick to my stomach.

• Running a mile is fun with my friends.

• When I play video games I want to play forever.

• Jumping up and down on a trampoline is good exercise.

A person stands in the middle of snowstorm with temperatures at 20 degrees below zero. The person’s body begins to shiver which helps to warm up the body. What CCC is this an example of?

• Energy and Matter

• Stability and Change

• Pattern identification

• Structure and Function

NGSS.MS-LS1-3

If we build a solar powered car, we will need to be able to monitor and control the energy that is coming into the car so the car will be able to run for the amount of time needed.

• Energy and Matter

• Structure and Function

• Cause and Effect

• Scale, Proportion and Quantity
