Standard:
1c Students know metals have properties in common, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity. Some metals, such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au), are pure elements; others, such as steel and brass, are composed of a combination of elemental metals.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| Pages 218-219 combined with many scattered pages in the text (see below) provide moderate coverage of this standard. In terms of physical properties of metals, the California Science Standards specify only high electrical and thermal conductivity of metals. The California Science Framework also mentions properties of shiny (reflect light), malleable (bend under pressure), and ductile (not brittle). These are not covered well in the text. |
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Descriptions of alloys and the properties of metals are scattered in different text locations (pages 212-213, 236-237, 245, 249, 253, 280-281).
Teacher's Edition that we used cited these pages as addressing this standard, but we did not find a significant correlation:
198-199, 206-207, 277.
