MS-PS1-1 Essential Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Molecules and Atoms
MS-PS1-2 Essential Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Types of Chemical Reactions
MS-PS1-3 Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. Synthetic Materials
MS-PS1-4 Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.Thermal Energy
MS-PS1-5 Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved. Conservation of Mass
MS-PS1-6 Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. Exothermic and Endothermic
MS-LS1-4 Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants, respectively. Plant and Animal Adaptations
MS-LS1-5 Essential Construct a scientific exBird Adaptationsplanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms. Genetic and Environmental Factors
MS-LS3-1 Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism Genetic and Heredity
MS-LS3-2 Essential Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation Genetic and Heredity
MS-LS4-2 Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. Comparing Anatomy and Embryology
MS-LS4-3 Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. Comparing Anatomy and Embryology
MS-LS4-4 Essential Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. Natural Selection
MS-LS4-5 Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms Selective Breeding
MS-LS4-6 Use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time. Natural Selection
MS-ESS2-5 Essential Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions. Air Pressure and Weather Fronts
MS-ESS2-6 Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. Climate Factors
MS-ESS3-3 Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Human Impact
MS-ESS3-4 Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth's systems. Human Population
MS-ESS3-5 Essential Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over time. Climate Change
MS-ETS1-1 Essential Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. Rubber Band Car
MS-ETS1-2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.Criteria and Constraints
MS-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success. Build a Catapult
MS-ETS1-4 Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Slingshot Rocket
