4 In addition to 3.0, can use the kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory to
explain real-life phenomena not explained in class.

3 In addition to 2.0, can explain how atomic motion relates to temperature,

pressure, and volume. Can explain how the state of matter is determined by its
molecular motion.

2 Understands that all matter is made of atoms. Can describe the structure of an
atom. Understands the characteristics of the basic states of matter. Knows which
properties of matter can and cannot change.

1 Can do all the 2.0 items with help or most of the 2.0 items by yourself.
