Science
Craft and Structure
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6-8 texts and topics.
Describe characteristics common to living things, including growth and development, reproduction, cellular organization, use of energy, exchange of gases, and response to the environment.
Identifying unicellular organisms, including bacteria and protists, by their methods of locomotion, reproduction, ingestion, excretion, and effects on other organisms
The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by comparing and contrasting characteristics of planets and stars. (i.e., light reflecting, light emitting, orbiting, orbited, composition.)
The student demonstrates an understanding of motions, forces, their characteristics, relationships, and effects by illustrating that unbalanced forces will cause an object to accelerate.
Lesson Plan Motion - BundleGrade 7
Properties of Matter: Distinguish among solvent, solute, and solution
Identify major differences between plants and animals, including internal structures, external structures, methods of locomotion, methods of reproduction, and stages of development.
Describing the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Human Impact
Enduring Understanding: Humans can alter the living and non-living factors within an ecosystem, thereby creating changes to the overall system.
The introduction of competing species, removal of natural habitat, alteration of native landscapes due to urban, industrial and agricultural activities, over-harvesting of species, alteration of waterways and removal of natural predators, etc., are actions that have a lasting impact on ecosystems. (Level: Essential)
Craft and Structure
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6-8 texts and topics.
The student demonstrates an understanding of how energy can be transformed, transferred, and conserved by explaining that energy (i.e., heat, light, chemical, electrical, mechanical) can change form.
Earth's Processes and Systems: Understand the processes acting on the Earth and their interaction with the Earth systems.
Relate plate boundary movements to their resulting landforms, including: Mountains; faults; rift valleys; trenches; volcanoes.
Structure and Properties: Describe and map climates of major Earth regions
Properties and Changes of Properties in Matter: identifying elements and compounds found in common foods, clothing, household materials, and automobiles. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Identify differences between deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Examples: DNA - double helix, contains thymine; RNA - single stranded, contains uracil
Identifying Watson and Crick as scientists who discovered the shape of the DNA molecule
Describe characteristics common to living things, including growth and development, reproduction, cellular organization, use of energy, exchange of gases, and response to the environment.
Identifying unicellular organisms, including bacteria and protists, by their methods of locomotion, reproduction, ingestion, excretion, and effects on other organisms
The student demonstrates an understanding of geochemical cycles by explaining the water cycle's connection to changes in the Earth's surface.
Properties of Matter: Explain how a small number of naturally-occurring elements can result in the large variety of substances found in the world
Describe biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. Examples: biotic - plants, animals; abiotic - climate, water, soil
Arranging the sequence of energy flow in an ecosystem through food webs, food chains, and energy pyramids
Identify major differences between plants and animals, including internal structures, external structures, methods of locomotion, methods of reproduction, and stages of development.
Describing the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
The student demonstrates an understanding of motions, forces, their characteristics, relationships, and effects by illustrating that unbalanced forces will cause an object to accelerate.
Lesson Plan Forces - BundleGrade 7
Structure of the Earth: Describe the composition and interactions between the structure of the Earth and its atmosphere.
Explain the following processes involved in the formation of the Earth's structure: Erosion; deposition; plate tectonics; volcanism.
