TARYAM AMERICAN PRIVATE SCHOOL Science Department CURRICULUM DOCUMENT Academic Year: 2016-2017 Book / Unit / Lesson Science/ Grade 8 Standards MS-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes Science Fusion/ Cell and Heredity Unit 1: Lessons 1-5 MS-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes. Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function. Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. MS-LS1-1. MS-LS1-2. MS-LS1-7. Term: 1 Learning Objectives Describe the relationship between cells and organisms Summarize the cell theory Compare unicellular and multicellular organisms Identify the parts that all cells have in common Compare prokaryote and eukaryote Explain that atoms join together to form molecules Define compound Explain the importance of nutrients Identify the four main types of molecules in cells Identify general characteristic of eukaryotic cell Describe the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells Compare and contrast organelles found in plant and animal cells Define organism List levels of structural organization Define specialization Define tissue, organ, and system Compare types of animals and plants tissues, organs, and organ systems Explain why homeostasis is important for survival Identify the needs of cells Describe how cells get energy Describe the cell cycle Compare passive and active transport Compare endocytosis and exocytosis Timeline (No. Weeks /Periods) 12 weeks / 48 periods ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Vision: To create an outstanding, creative educational environment which empowers students to achieve their potential and to become life-long learners and future’s leaders.
