SS 8.1 Students will explain how history is a series of connected events shaped by multiple cause-and-effect relationships. SS 8.2 Students will explain how compromise and cooperation are possible choices to resolve conflict among individuals and groups in the present day. SS 8.3 Students will explain and give examples of how, in order for the US government to function as a democracy, citizens must assume responsibilities (EG participating in community events, voting in elections) and duties (eg obeying the law, paying taxes, serving on a jury, registering for the military). SS 8.4 Students will use a variety of geographic tools (maps, photographs, charts, graphs, data bases, satellite images) to interpret patterns and locations on Earth’s surface in the present day. -US History Timeline -Auracle HD Miko Wants a Dog -US Citizenship Exam Review -Thematic Maps of the World -Stack the States -Stack the Countries -Shake the States -World Atlas HD -Google Maps
Sci 7.1 Students will: -Classify elements and compounds according to their properties; -Compare aproperties of different combinations of elements. Observations of simple experiements illustrate that the atoms of chemical elements do not break down during normal laboratory reactions such as heating, exposure to electric currents, or reactions to acids. SCI 7.2 Students will explain the cause and effect relationship between simple observable motion and unbalanced forces. An object remains at rest of maintains a constant speed and direction of motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it (e.g. gravity). When an unbalanced foce acts on an object, the change in speed or direction depends on the size and direction of the force. SCI 7.3 Students will make inferences and predictions related to changes in the Earth;s surface or atmosphere based on data/evidence. The Earth’s processes we see today, including erosion, movement of lithosheric plates and changes in atmosheric composition, are predictable and similar to those that occurred in the past. SCI 7.5 Students will compare abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem in order to explain consequences of change in one or more factors. The number of organism an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and abiotic factors (e.g. guality of light and water, range of temperatures, sial composition). SCI 7.4 Students will: -describe the role of genes/chromosomes in passing of information from one generation to another (heredity); -compare inherited and learned traits. -Periodic Table of the Elements -EMD Periodic Table -The Elements: A Visual Exploration -Newton’s Cradle -Physics ++ -Newton’s Law -Touch Physics -Planet Earth 3D -Life Science Through Photography -Gene Screen
