  1. Outline the present explanation of the origin of the universe. Standards: 1. Utilize basic laboratory equipment to measure and calculate quantities such as density, displacement, velocity and acceleration.
  2. Name at least three key types of astronomical observations that have caused us to form, and change, our world view.
  3. Apply Newton's laws and the conservation of mechanical energy to a baseball in flight, or the more general case of conservation of energy to a car braking to a stop while traveling down a hill.
  4. Explain the basic property of matter that temperature actually measures and what relationship a calorie has to the specific heat of water.
  5. Outline the basic organization of the periodic table of elements and how it is based upon the atoms electronic structure.
  6. Explain what an electrical current is and how magnetic fields are related to electrical currents.
  7. Name the ten general cloud types and place them in their correct altitude range; be able to visually identify the clouds observed on any given day.
  8. Name the two minor atmospheric constituents that play a major role in the energy balance of the surface of the earth and their effect.
  9. Define plate tectonics and how it relates to our current view of the earth’s structure.
  10. Outline the rock cycle and how it relates to the three major rock types.
  11. Explain the phases of the moon and the lunar cycle.
  12. Explain why the earth has seasons and why the apparent path of the sun in the sky changes during the course of the year.
  13. Outline the life cycle of stars in general and our own sun in particular.
  14. Outline the current explanation of the origin of the universe and the experimental evidence that backs it up. AGEC/Special Requirements: Biological and Physical Sciences
