Evolution

3. Biological evolution accounts for the diversity of species developed through gradual processes over many generations. As a basis for understanding this concept:

a. Students know both genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and diversity of organisms.

Investigation and Experimentation

7. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

c. Communicate the logical connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted, data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.

Standards (Eighth Grade Science)

Forces

2.Unbalanced forces cause changes in velocity. As a basis for understanding this

concept:

a. Students know a force has both direction and magnitude.

b.Students know when an object is subject to two or more forces at once, the result is

the cumulative effect of all the forces.
