Science 8: Expectations

LS1-7. "Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism."

 

LS2-1. "Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem."

 

LS2-3. "Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem."

 

LS2-4. "Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations."

 

LS2-2. "Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems."

 

LS2-5. "Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services."

 

 

 

ESS2-2. "Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience process have changed Earth's surface at varying time and spatial scales."

 

ESS2-3. "Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions."

 

ESS2-1. "Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process."

 

ESS3-1. "Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes."

 

ESS3-2. "Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects."

 

 

 

PS1-1. "Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures."

 

PS1-3. "Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society."

 

PS1-4. "Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substances when thermal energy is added or removed."

 

PS1-2. "Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred."

 

PS1-5. "Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved."

 

PS1-6. "Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes."

 

 

 

ETS1-1. "Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions."

 

ETS1-2. "Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem."

 

ETS1-3. "Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success."

 

ETS1-4. "Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved."
