P.EN.07.62: Explain how only a tiny fraction of light energy from the sun is transformed to heat energy on Earth.
Heat Absorption
Herschel Experiment
Radiation
P.PM.07.11: Classify substances by their chemical properties (flammability, pH, acid-base indicators, reactivity).
Mineral Identification
pH Analysis
pH Analysis: Quad Color Indicator
P.PM.07.24: List examples of physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds (boiling point, density, color, conductivity, reactivity).
P.CM.07.21: Identify evidence of chemical change through color, gas formation, solid formation, and temperature change.
L.OL.07.21: Recognize that all organisms are composed of cells (single cell organisms, multicellular organisms).
L.OL.07.23: Describe how cells in all multicellular organisms are specialized to take in nutrients, which they use to provide energy for the work that cells do and to make the materials that a cell or organism needs.
L.OL.07.24: Recognize that cells function in a similar way in all organisms.
Cell Structure
Paramecium Homeostasis
L.OL.07.31: Describe growth and development in terms of increase of cell number and/or cell size.
L.OL.07.62: Explain that carbon dioxide and water are used to produce carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
L.OL.07.63: Describe evidence that plants make, use and store food.
L.HE.07.21: Compare how characteristics of living things are passed on through generations, both asexually and sexually.
Inheritance
Mouse Genetics (One Trait)
Mouse Genetics (Two Traits)
Pollination: Flower to Fruit
E.ES.07.11: Demonstrate, using a model or drawing, the relationship between the warming by the sun of the Earth and the water cycle as it applies to the atmosphere (evaporation, water vapor, warm air rising, cooling, condensation, clouds).
E.ES.07.12: Describe the relationship between the warming of the atmosphere of the Earth by the sun and convection within the atmosphere and oceans.
E.ES.07.41: Explain how human activities (surface mining, deforestation, overpopulation, construction and urban development, farming, dams, landfills, and restoring natural areas) change the surface of the Earth and affect the survival of organisms.
Coral Reefs 1 - Abiotic Factors
Pond Ecosystem
Rabbit Population by Season
Rainfall and Bird Beaks
Water Pollution
E.ES.07.72: Describe how different weather occurs due to the constant motion of the atmosphere from the energy of the sun reaching the surface of the Earth.
E.ES.07.73: Explain how the temperature of the oceans affects the different climates on Earth because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat.
E.ES.07.74: Describe weather conditions associated with frontal boundaries (cold, warm, stationary, and occluded) and the movement of major air masses and the jet stream across North America using a weather map.
E.ES.07.81: Explain the water cycle and describe how evaporation, transpiration, condensation, cloud formation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, ground water, and absorption occur within the cycle.
