It started out without any borders around the states but then people wanted to have territories so they spilt up the land into borders that the other people couldn't pass because it was "theirs"

There is a wonderful program discussing this topic, which I just recently watched again on the History International Channel - if I am not mistaken. This documentary presents various factors, from the conflict over gold mining to geographic features to politics as playing a role in the "configuration" of our U.S. map.

Should the school's mission be reflected in all its curriculum?

The curriculum is set by the state and the state follows the federal education department rules. Colleges generally have mission statements, but not elementary, middle, or high schools. The state curriculum provides a framework for each grade and each subject. It tells the teacher exactly what is to be taught and the objectives to be followed. These are very specific and exact and the textbooks are geared to the frameworks. When teachers are evaluated they are evaluated using the framework for their grade level curriculum or subject matter. Lesson plans must reflect the exact objective that is being used from the framework. The objectives are numbered to make it easy to put as part of the lesson plan and each teacher must state an objective for each lesson each day. The school is also required for each teacher to have an outcome based curriculum. This is measured with benchmarks, observations, and testing. Each year each teacher must report what percentage of their students can pass for the year and they are held to this standard. Many people think schools willy nilly pick what to teach but it is very much a set process and requirements have to be met by the schools and teachers for the state.

What is a molecule movement on each state of matter and what is its chariristics?

In solid state, molecules vibrate in fixed positions but cannot move past each other easily, leading to a definite shape and volume. In liquid state, molecules can move past each other but are still close together, allowing the substance to take on the shape of its container while maintaining a definite volume. In gas state, molecules move freely and independently of each other, filling the entire space of the container they are in with no definite shape or volume.


When a substance changes from one state to another is it the same shape and size?

When the state changes, it won't be the same shape because there are different properties for each of the states, e.g. liqiud can fill any shape but moves to the bottom, solid can't move and gas fills any shape.
