PENNSYLVANIA Date: March 21, 2014 ET Susquenita Curriculum Course: Science Grade 7 Teacher / Team Name: 7th grade Curriculum: Topic: Classification and Characteristics of Animals Days: 12 Subject(s): Know: S8.A.1.1.1 -- Essential Distinguish between a scientific theory and an opinion, explaining how a theory is supported with evidence, or how new data/ information may change existing theories and practice. Grade(s): Understand: Organisms can be classified based on their characteristics. Do: 3.1.7.A1. -- Essential COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE Describe the similarities and differences of physical characteristics in diverse organisms. S8.A.1.2.3 -- Important Describe fundamental scientific or technological concepts that could solve practical problems.(e.g., Newton's Laws of motion, Mendelian genetics, mechanical advantage) S8.B.1.1.1 -- Essential Describe the structures of living things that help them function affectively in specific ways (e.g., adaptations and characteristics). S8.B.1.1.2 -- Essential Compare similarities or differences in both internal structures (e.g., invertebrate/vertebrate, vascular/nonvascular, single-celled/multicelled, and external structures (e.g., appendages, body segments, type of covering, size, shape) of organisms. S8.B.1.1.3 -- Essential Apply knowledge of characteristic structures to identify or categorize organisms (i.e., plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protista).

S8.B.2.1.1 -- Essential Explain how inherited structures or behaviors help organisms survive and reproduce in different environments. S8.B.2.1.2 -- Essential Explain how different adaptations in individuals of the same species may affect survivability or reproduction success. S8.B.2.1.3 -- Essential Explain that mutations can alter a gene and are the original source of new variations. S8.B.2.1.4 -- Essential Describe how selective breeding or biotechnology can change the genetic makeup of organisms. S8.B.2.1.5 -- Essential Explain that adaptations are developed over long periods of time and are passed from one generation to another.

S8.B.2.2.2 -- Essential Recognize that the gene is the basic unit of inheritance, that there are dominant and recessive genes, that traits are inherited. 3.1.6.A1. -- Essential COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE - Describe the similarities and differences of major physical characteristics in plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. 3.1.6.A4. -- Essential CELL CYCLES Recognize that all organisms are composed of cells and that many organisms are unicellular and must carry out all life functions in one cell. 3.1.7.B2. -- Important REPRODUCTION Compare sexual reproduction with asexual reproduction. 3.1.7.A5. -- Important FORM AND FUNCTION - Explain how the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living things.
