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-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.

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-PS1-3: Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.

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-ESS2-2: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying times and spatial scales.

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.
