1. Explain how the respiratory and 2 2 6.66 1-2 2 1
circulatory systems work together
to transport nutrients, gases, and
other molecules to and from the
different parts of the body and Infer
how one’s lifestyle can affect the
functioning of respiratory and
circulatory systems
2. Explain the different patterns of 2 2 6.66 3-4 4 3

level
17. Show which constellations may be 2 2 6.66 23-24 23,24
observed at different times of the
year using models
18. Describe the horizontal and vertical 1 1 3.33 25 25
motions of a projectile
19. Investigate the relationship 1 1 3.33 26 26
between the angle of release and
the height and range of the
projectile
20. Relate impulse and momentum to 1 1 3.33 27 27
collision of objects (e.g., vehicular
collision)
21. Infer that the total momentum 1 1 3.33 28 28
before and after collision is equal
22. Explain how heat transfer and 1 1 3.33 29 29
energy transformation make heat
engines
23. Explain how electrical energy is 1 1 3.33 30 30
generated, transmitted, and
distributed
