Most physical science core ideas answer two fundamental questions- "What is everything made of?" and "Why do things happen?". These core ideas can be applied to explain and predict a wide variety of phenomena that occur in people's everyday lives, such as the evaporation of a puddle and transmission of sound. And because such explanations and predictions rely on a basic understanding of matter and energy, it makes it central to students' science education.

Physical Science Focus Questions and Student Performance Expectations
Physical Science Focus Questions and Student Performance Expectations
This document helps you to see the big picture of the Life Science module. It includes the anchor phenomenon, driving question for the module along with the guiding question for each investigation, and focus question for each part of the investigation. An understanding of how each component fits together will provide you with greater insight to the science concepts students will explore.
