NH.CC.WHST.6-8.Writing Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects

NH.ESS1.Earth Space Science: The Earth and Earth materials, as we know them today, have developed over long periods of time, through constant change processes.

NH.ESS2.Earth Space Science: The Earth is part of a solar system, made up of distinct parts, which have temporal and spatial interrelationships.

NH.ESS3.Earth Space Science: The origin and evolution of galaxies and the universe demonstrate fundamental principles of physical science across vast distances and time.

NH.ESS4.Earth Space Science: The growth of scientific knowledge in Earth Space Science has been advanced through the development of technology and is used (alone or in combination with other sciences) to identify, understand and solve local and global issues.

NH.LS1.Life Science: All living organisms have identifiable structures and characteristics that allow for survival (organisms, populations, and species).

NH.LS2.Life Science: Energy flows and matter recycles through an ecosystem.

NH.LS3.Life Science: Groups of organisms show evidence of change over time (e.g. evolution, natural selection, structures, behaviors, and biochemistry).

NH.LS4.Life Science: Humans are similar to other species in many ways, and yet are unique among Earth's life forms.

NH.LS5.Life Science: The growth of scientific knowledge in Life Science has been advanced through the development of technology and is used (alone or in combination with other sciences) to identify, understand and solve local and global issues.

NH.PS1.Physical Science: All living and nonliving things are composed of matter having characteristic properties that distinguish one substance from another (independent of size/amount of substance).

NH.PS2.Physical Science: Energy is necessary for change to occur in matter. Energy can be stored, transferred and transformed, but cannot be destroyed.

NH.PS3.Physical Science: The motion of an object is affected by force.

NH.PS4.Physical Science: The growth of scientific knowledge in Physical Science has been advanced through the development of technology and is used (alone or in combination with other sciences) to identify, understand and solve local and global issues.

NH.SPS1.Science Process Skills: Scientific Inquiry and Critical Thinking Skills

NH.SPS2.Science Process Skills: Unifying Concepts of Science
