North Carolina Standard Course of Study 2009
• 6.P.3.3 Explain the suitability of materials for use in technological design based on a response to heat (to include conduction, expansion, and contraction) and electrical energy (conductors and insulators).
• 6.L.2.3 Summarize how the abiotic factors (such as temperature, water, sunlight, and soil quality) of biomes (freshwater, marine, forest, grassland, desert, Tundra) affect the ability of organisms to grow, survive and/or create their own food through photosynthesis.
North Carolina Standard Course of Study 2023
• PS.6.2.2 Use models to explain how the transfer of heat and resulting change of temperature impacts the behavior of matter to include conduction, expansion, and contraction.
• LS.6.2.2 Analyze and interpret data to predict how the abiotic factors (such as temperature, water, sunlight, and soil quality) and biotic factors affect the ability of organisms to grown and survive in different biomes (freshwater, marine, temperate forest, rainforest, grassland, desert, taiga, tundra)
