SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY (NATURE OF SCIENCE UNIFYING CONCEPT A) Scientific inquiry is the process by which humans systematically examine the natural world. Scientific inquiry is a human endeavor and involves observation, reasoning, insight, energy, skill, and creativity. Scientific inquiry is used to formulate and test explanations of nature through observation, experiments, and theoretical or mathematical models. Scientific explanations and evidence are constantly reviewed and examined by others. Questioning, response to criticism and open communication are integral to the process of science. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6 - 8 N.8.A Students understand that scientific knowledge requires critical consideration of verifiable evidence obtained from inquiry and appropriate investigations. N.8.A.1 Students know how to identify and

critically evaluate information in data, tables, and graphs. E/S

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY (NATURE OF SCIENCE UNIFYING CONCEPT B) Technology defines a society or era. It can shape the environment in which people live, and it has increasingly become a larger part of people’s lives. While many of technology’s effects on society are regarded as desirable, other effects are seen as less desirable. Instruction in this area should not be solely in science or technology courses, but should be shared by science, math, technology, social studies and language arts. The development and use of technology affects society and the environment in which we live, and at the same time society influences the development of technology and its impact on culture. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6 - 8 N.8.B Students understand the interactions of science and society in an every changing world. N.8.B.1 Students know technologies impact society, both positively and negatively. E/S

SOLAR SYSTEM AND UNIVERSE (EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE UNIFYING CONCEPT B) The universe is a dynamic system of matter and energy. The universe is extremely large and massive with its components separated by vast distances. Tools of technology will continue to aid in the investigation of the components, origins, processes and age of the universe. Earth is one part in our solar system, which is within the Milky Way galaxy. The Sun is the energy-producing star for our solar system. Most objects in our solar system are in predictable motion, resulting in phenomena such as day/night, year, phases of the moon, tides, and eclipses. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6 - 8 E.8.B Students understand characteristics of our solar system that is part of the Milky Way galaxy.






HEREDITY (LIFE SCIENCE UNIFYING CONCEPT A) Heredity is the genetic passing of a set of instructions from generation to generation. These instructions are encoded as DNA and may manifest themselves as characteristics. Some characteristics are inherited, and some result from interactions with the environment. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6 - 8 L.8.A Students understand that heredity is the passage of genetic information from one generation to another. L.8.A.1 Students know that heredity is the

DIVERSITY OF LIFE (LIFE SCIENCE UNIFYING CONCEPT D) Evidence suggests that living things change over periods of time. These changes can be attributed to genetic and/or environmental influences. This process of change over time is called biological evolution. The diversity of life on Earth is classified using objective characteristics. Scientific classification uses a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities that reflect evolutionary relationships. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6 - 8 L.8.D Students understand that life forms change over time, contributing to the variety of organisms found on the Earth.
