COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT PLANNING TEMPLATE
--FIRST DRAFT-Grade Level or Course:
8TH GRADE SCIENCE
Authors:
Assessment Topic:
Human Body Systems
Selected Power Standards: List standards by number and include the full text
here. Then “unwrap” to identify what students need to know and be able to do.
Underline the concepts (important nouns or noun phrases) and circle the skills
(verbs).
C16:
Describe the structures of the human digestive, respiratory
and circulatory systems and explain how they function to
bring oxygen and nutrients to the cells and expel waste
materials.
CINQ10:
Communicate about science in different formats, using
relevant science vocabulary, supporting evidence and clear
logic.
GLE’s
1. Label the major parts of the human respiratory system and explain in
writing the function of each part (nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, lings
and diaphragm).
2. Label the major parts of the human circulatory system and explain in
writing the function of each part (heart, veins, arteries and
capillaries).
3. Design and conduct controlled variable experiments to analyze the
interaction between the circulatory and respiratory systems as the
demand for oxygen changes.

Big Ideas from “Unwrapped” Standards
1. The major parts of the human respiratory system are the nose,
trachea, bronchi and lungs. This system is responsible for breathing
and exchange of gases between the body and its surroundings.
2. The major parts of the circulatory system are the heart, arteries,
veins and capillaries. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the
lungs for gas exchange; the left side of the heart pumps oxygenated
blood around the body.
3. Blood is made up of plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets.
Its main role is to carry small food molecules and respiratory gases
9oxygen and carbon dioxide) to and from cells. Blood cells are also
responsible for destroying invading particles, preventing diseases,
and stopping bleeding after injuries.
4. The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to provide all
cells with oxygen and nutrients. When the body’s need for oxygen
changes, the circulatory and respiratory systems respond by
increasing or decreasing breathing and heart rates. These changes
can be measured by counting breaths, heartbeats or pulses per
minute.

Essential Questions Matched to Big Ideas
1. How does the respiratory system work?
2. How does the circulatory system work?
3. What are the components of blood and what do them each
do?
4. How and why do the circulatory and respiratory systems
work together?
