| The process standards reflect the thinking that students must master to become independent learners. We divide them into “tools to know” (accessing information or getting started) and “ways to show” (demonstrating learning). The resources below will help you integrate these important thinking skills into all units of instruction. |

| 7.6 | Matter and energy. The student distinguishes between elements and compounds, classifies changes in matter, and understands the properties of solutions. |
|
|
|
| 7.7 | Force, motion, and energy. The student describes the cause‐and-effect relationship between force and motion. |
|
|
|
| 7.8 | Force, motion, and energy. The student understands the behavior of thermal energy as it flows into and out of systems. |
|
|
|
| 7.9 | Earth and space. The student understands the patterns of movement, organization, and characteristics of components of our solar system. |
|
|
|

|
| 7.11 | Earth and space. The student understands how human activity can impact the hydrosphere. |
|
|
|
| 7.12 | Organisms and environments. The student understands that ecosystems are dependent upon the cycling of matter and the flow of energy. |
|
|
|
