Science
Structure and Properties: Explain how weathering and erosion affect the oceans' salinity
Water on Earth is distributed and circulated through oceans, glaciers, rivers, ground water, and the atmosphere. Students can:
Identify the various causes and effects of water pollution in local and world water distributions
The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by describing how the movement of the tectonic plates results in both slow changes (e.g., formation of mountains, ocean floors, and basins) and short-term events (e.g., volcanic eruptions, seismic waves, and earthquakes) on the surface.
Vocabulary VolcanoesGrade 7
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.
Vocabulary EarthquakesGrade 7
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
Read a topographic map and a geologic map for evidence provided on the maps and construct and interpret a simple scale map.
Develop an understanding that the advancement of scientific knowledge embraces innovation and requires empirical evidence, repeatable investigations, logical arguments, and critical review in striving for the best possible explanations of the natural world.
Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world. As a basis for understanding this concept:
Students know the common properties of salts, such as sodium chloride (NaCl).
Changes in Environments: Describe the interactions between human populations, natural hazards, and the environment.
Propose a solution, resource, or product that addresses a specific human, animal, or habitat need.
Vocabulary Earth's oceansGrade 5
The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that the Earth is in regular and predictable motion and this motion explains the length of a day and year.
Describe the relationship of populations within a habitat to various communities and ecosystems.
Describing the relationship between food chains and food webs
Reproduction, Heredity and Development
Enduring Understanding: Organisms reproduce, develop, have predictable life cycles, and pass on heritable traits to their offspring.
Most plants go through a life cycle of germination, growth, development, reproduction, and death. (Level: Essential)
Regulation and Behavior
Enduring Understanding: Organisms respond to internal and external cues, which allow them to survive.
An organism displays behaviors in response to internal cues, such as hunger, and external cues, such as light, temperature, or interaction with living things. (Level: Essential)
The student demonstrates an understanding of the structure, function, behavior, development, life cycles, and diversity of living organisms by explaining how external features and internal systems (i.e., respiratory, excretory, skeletal, circulatory, and digestive) of plants and animals may help them grow, survive, and reproduce.
Describe geological features of Earth, including bodies of water, beaches, ocean ridges, continental shelves, plateaus, faults, canyons, sand dunes, and ice caps.
Vocabulary Earth's WatersGrade 4
Describe the interdependence of plants and animals.
Tracing the flow of energy through a food chain. Example: producer, first-level consumer, second-level consumer, and third-level consumer
Classify animals as vertebrates or invertebrates and as endotherms or ectotherms.
Describing the grouping of organisms into populations, communities, and ecosystems
Characteristics of Organisms: Understand that basic structures in plants and animals serve a function.
Compare structures in plants (e.g., roots, stems, leaves, flowers) and animals (e.g., muscles, bones, nerves) that serve different functions in growth and survival.
Vocabulary Organ systemsGrade 4
Describe the interdependence of plants and animals.
Describing life cycles of various animals to include incomplete and complete metamorphosis. Examples: damsel fly, mealworms
Characteristics of Organisms: Understand that basic structures in plants and animals serve a function.
Classify animals by identifiable group characteristics: vertebrates - mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians; invertebrates - insects, arachnids.
Illustrate the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem
