This book supports the following State Essential Standards for Science and Health Education:

*Florida*
Subject	Grade	Broad Standard Reference	Standard Code	Standard Name	Standard
Health	4		HE.4.B.4	Interpersonal Communication	Demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal-communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Science	4	Nature of Science	SC.4.N.1.4	Strategic Thinking and Complex Reasoning	Attempt reasonable answers to scientific questions and cite evidence in support.
Science	4	Nature of Science	SC.4.N.1.6.A	Strategic Thinking and Complex Reasoning	Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; the processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation.
Science	4	Nature of Science	SC.4.N.3.1	The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models	Explain that models can be three dimensional, two dimensional, an explanation in your mind, or a computer model.
Science	4	Physical Science	SC.4.P.10.1	Forms of Energy	Observe and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, and the energy of motion.
Science	4	Physical Science	SC.4.P.11.2	Energy Transfer and Transformations	Identify common materials that conduct heat well or poorly.
Health	5		HE.5.B.4	Interpersonal Communication	Demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal-communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Science	5	Nature of Science	SC.5.N.1.1	Strategic Thinking and Complex Reasoning	Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; the processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation.
Science	5	Nature of Science	SC.5.N.2.1	The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge	Recognize and explain that science is grounded in empirical observations that are testable; explanation must always be linked with evidence.
Science	5	Physical Science	SC.5.P.10.1	Forms of Energy	Investigate and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical, and mechanical.
Science	5	Physical Science	SC.5.P.10.4	Forms of Energy	Investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion.
Science	5	Physical Science	SC.5.P.11.1	Energy Transfer and Transformations	Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop).
Science	5	Physical Science	SC.5.P.11.2	Energy Transfer and Transformations	Identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.
Health	6		HE.6.B.4	Interpersonal Communication	Demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal-communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Science	6	Nature of Science	SC.6.N.3.4	The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models	Identify the role of models in the context of the sixth grade science benchmarks.
Health	7		HE.7.B.4	Interpersonal Communication	Demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal-communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Science	7	Nature of Science	SC.7.N.3.2	The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models	Identify the benefits and limitations of the use of scientific models.
Health	8		HE.8.B.4	Interpersonal Communication	Demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal-communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Science	8	Nature of Science	SC.8.N.1.4	The Practice of Science	Explain how hypotheses are valuable if they lead to further investigations, even if they turn out not to be supported by the data.
Science	8	Physical Science	SC.8.P.8.4	Properties of Matter	Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example . . . electrical conductivity . . .
