MS-LS1-1: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers of cells.

MS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of a cell contribute to the function.

MS-PS1-1: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.

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

MS-ESS2-4 Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.

MS-ESS2-5 Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions

MS-ESS2-3 Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.
