Reading Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects
Craft and StructureRST.6-8.4. 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.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Meiosis Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Minerals Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Mitosis Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Rocks Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Sound
Integration of Knowledge and IdeasRST.6-8.7. Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Meiosis
RST.6-8.9. Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
AR.SC.1.Energy
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-PS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
6-PS3-4. Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
6-PS3-5. Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
AR.SC.2.Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-LS1-1. Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells
6-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Mitosis
6-LS1-3. Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells
6-LS1-8. Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.
AR.SC.3.Growth, Development, and Reproduction of Organisms
Growth, Development, and Reproduction of Organisms
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-LS1-4. Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.
6-LS3-2. 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.
AR.SC.4.Earth’s Systems
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-ESS2-4. Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.
AR.SC.5.Human Impacts
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.
6-ESS3-4. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Minerals
AR.SC.6.Weather and Climate
Students who demonstrate understanding can:6-ESS2-5. Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
6-ESS2-6. Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
6-ESS3-5. Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century.
