PHYSICAL SCIENCE BIG IDEAS:

Scientific thinking helps to solve problems and answer questions by gathering and evaluating evidence.
The properties and interactions of matter are determined by the properties and interactions of atoms and molecules.
Electrons create and define the bonding of atoms and therefore the properties of molecules.
Matter can change through chemicals reactions that break and create chemical bonds.
The breaking and forming of chemical bonds uses and creates energy.
Motion can be described and predicted using mathematical relationships and laws.
Energy is conserved but can be converted to different forms.
