IN.6-8.CD.Computing Devices and Systems (CD)
Computing Devices and Systems (CD)
6-8.CD.3. Describe the major components and functions of computer systems and network.
IN.6-8.DI.Data and Information (DI)
Data and Information (DI)
6-8.DI.3. Represent data in a variety of ways (e.g., text, sounds, pictures, and numbers), and use different visual representations of problems, structures, and data (e.g., graphs, charts, network diagrams, flowcharts).Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Cells
IN.6-8.PA.Programs and Algorithms (PA)
Programs and Algorithms (PA)
6-8.PA.3. Demonstrate dispositions amenable to open-ended problem solving and programming (e.g., comfort with complexity, persistence, brainstorming, adaptability, patience, propensity to tinker, creativity, accepting challenge).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
IN.8.ESS.Earth and Space Science (ESS)
Earth and Space Science (ESS)
8.ESS.1. Research global temperatures over the past century. Compare and contrast data in relation to the theory of climate change.
8.ESS.2. Create a diagram or carry out a simulation to describe how water is cycled through the earth's crust, atmosphere and oceans. Explain how the water cycle is driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.
8.ESS.3. Research how human consumption of finite natural resources (i.e. coal, oil, natural gas, and clean water) and human activities have had an impact on the environment (i.e. causes of air, water, soil, light, and noise pollution).Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Minerals
IN.8.LS.Life Science (LS)
8.LS.1. Compare and contrast the transmission of genetic information in sexual and asexual reproduction. Research organisms that undergo these two types of reproduction.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Meiosis
8.LS.11. Investigate how viruses and bacteria affect the human body.
8.LS.2. Demonstrate how genetic information is transmitted from parent to offspring through chromosomes via the process of meiosis. Explain how living things grow and develop.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Meiosis
8.LS.3. Create and analyze Punnett squares to calculate the probability of specific traits being passed from parents to offspring using different patterns of inheritance.
8.LS.4. Differentiate between and provide examples of acquired and genetically inherited traits.
8.LS.5. Explain how factors affecting natural selection (competition, genetic variations, environmental changes, and overproduction) increase or decrease a species’ ability to survive and reproduce.
8.LS.6. Create models to show how the structures of chromatin, chromosomes, chromatids, genes, alleles and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules are related and differ.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Mitosis
8.LS.7. Recognize organisms are classified into taxonomic levels according to shared characteristics. Explain how an organism’s scientific name correlates to these shared characteristics.
8.LS.8. Explore and predict the evolutionary relationships between species looking at the anatomical differences among modern organisms and fossil organisms.
8.LS.9. Examine traits of individuals within a species that may give them an advantage or disadvantage to survive and reproduce in stable or changing environment.Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game Meiosis
IN.8.PS.Physical Science (PS)
8.PS.1. Create models to represent the arrangement and charges of subatomic particles in an atom (protons, neutrons and electrons). Understand the significance that the currently 118 known chemical elements combine to form all the matter in the universe.
8.PS.2. Illustrate with diagrams (drawings) how atoms are arranged in simple molecules. Distinguish between atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds.
8.PS.3. Use basic information provided for an element (atomic mass, atomic number, symbol, and name) to determine its place on the Periodic Table. Use this information to find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.
8.PS.4. Identify organizational patterns (radius, atomic number, atomic mass, properties and radioactivity) on the Periodic Table.
8.PS.6. Compare and contrast physical change vs. chemical change. Analyze the properties of substances before and after substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
8.PS.7. Balance chemical equations to show how the total number of atoms for each element does not change in chemical reactions and as a result, mass is always conserved in a closed system. (Law of Conservation of Mass.)
