Science
Physical Science: Matter: Properties and Changes: Students shall demonstrate and apply knowledge of matter, including properties and changes, using appropriate safety procedures, equipment, and technology Properties of Matter: Create models of common compounds: water, carbon dioxide, salt, iron oxide, ammonia
Physical Science - Students will: State the law of conservation of matter.
Balancing chemical equations by adjusting coefficients
Physical Science: Matter: Properties and Changes: Students shall demonstrate and apply knowledge of matter, including properties and changes, using appropriate safety procedures, equipment, and technology Properties of Matter: Explain the structure of atoms
Density and Buoyancy: Broad Concept: All objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid. As a basis for understanding this concept, students: Determine and explain that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid the object has displaced; this principle can be used to predict whether an object will float or sink in a given fluid.
Concepts of Physical Science (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4) The student demonstrates understanding of the interactions between matter and energy and the effects of these interactions on systems by recognizing that most substances can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas depending on temperature.
Concepts of Life Science (SC1, SC2, SC3) The student demonstrates an understanding of the structure, function, behavior, development, life cycles, and diversity of living organisms by describing the functions and interdependence of human body systems (i.e., circulatory, respiratory, nervous).
Reading Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects 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.
Diversity, Adaptation, and Behavior: Identify structural and behavioral adaptations.
Describe how an organism can maintain a stable internal environment while living in a constantly changing external environment.
Life Science - Students will: 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

History and Nature of Science: A student should understand the history and nature of science. A student who meets the content standard should: Develop an understanding that historical perspectives of scientific explanations demonstrate that scientific knowledge changes over time, building on prior knowledge.
Concepts of Earth Science (SD1, SD2, SD3, SD4) The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by comparing the brightness of a star to its distance and size.
