Final Exam Week 7.1A - 7.4B 7.5A-C 7.7A-C 7.8A-C 7.10A-C 7.12C,D,F 1, 2, 3, 4 ELPS 1A, 1C, 1E, 3E, 3F, 3I, 3J, 5B, 5F, 5G I.C.1, I.C.2, I.C.3 V.B.2 VI.B.3 VI.G.1 VI.G.2 VIII.A.5 VIII.D.3 IX.A.2 Matter and Energy The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis demonstrate and explain the cycling of matter within living systems such as in the decay of biomass in a compost bin diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, energy pyramids Force, Motion, and Energy The student knows that there is a relationship among force, motion, and energy. Review situations where work is done illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life Earth and Space The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems. describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas. model the effects of human activity on surface water in a watershed Textbooks, Star Lab, Living with Science, DSM kits, EduSmart, OnTrack for Grade 8 Science
The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and the environment. observe how different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards support different varieties of organisms describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds. of structure and function. differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles compare the functions of a cell to the functions of
