Grade 8
MS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals? probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
October 1, 2018MS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
October 1, 2018MS-LS4-6
Use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-1
Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
October 1, 2018MS-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.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-3
Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-4
Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
October 1, 2018MS-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.
October 1, 2018MS-PS1-6
Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-1
Apply Newton?s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object?s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-3
Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
