Common Core State Standards

1

Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.

MS-LS3-2

Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.

MS-LS4-5

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.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.4

Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.3.

Benchmarks for Science Literacy

In some kinds of organisms, all the genes come from a single parent.5B/M1a

In organisms that have two sexes, typically half of the genes will come from each parent.

5B/M1b

New varieties of cultivated plants and domestic animals have resulted from selective breeding for particular traits.

5B/M3


2Life Science

REACH FOR THE SUN

CELL COMMAND






Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.

MS-LS1-6





Animals and plants have a great variety of body plans and internal structures that contribute to their being able to make or find food and reproduce.

5A/M2

Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.

MS-LS1-2






3Life Science

FOSSIL FORENSICS





Small differences between parents and offspring can accumulate through selective breeding) in successive generations so that descendants are very different from their ancestors.

5F/M1

All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many millions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope.

5C/M1a

Cells repeatedly divide to make more cells for growth and repair.5C/M2a

Within cells, many of the basic functions of organisms—such as extracting energy from food and getting rid of waste—are carried out.

5C/M3a

Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past.

MS-LS4-1

Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships..

MS-LS4-2





Many thousands of layers of sedimentary rock provide evidence for the long history of the earth and for the long history of changing life forms whose remains are found in the rocks.

5F/M3a


4Life Science

GUTS

YOU MAKE ME SICK!






Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

MS-LS1-3



Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking mea-surements, or performing technical tasks.


Organs and organ systems are composed of cells and help to provide all cells with basic needs.

6C/M1

To burn food for the release of energy stored in it, oxygen must be supplied to cells, and carbon dioxide removed. Lungs take in oxygen for the combustion of food and eliminate the carbon dioxide produced. The urinary system disposes of dissolved waste molecules, the intestinal tract removes solid wastes, and the skin and lungs aid in the transfer of thermal energy from the body. The circulatory system moves all these substances to or from cells where they are needed or produced, responding to changing demands.

6C/M3



Life Science




Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites may infect the human body and interfere with normal body functions. A person can catch a cold many times because there are many varieties of cold viruses that cause similar symptoms.

6E/M3

White blood cells engulf invaders or produce antibodies that attack them or mark them for killing by other white cells. The antibodies produced will remain and can fight off subsequent invaders of the same kind.

6E/M4

Specific kinds of germs cause specific diseases.6E/M6** (BSL)

Vaccines induce the body to build immunity to a disease without actually causing the disease itself.

6E/M7** (BSL)
