MS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in
offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results
in offspring with genetic variation.
MS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed
the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
Common Core State Standards
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.4
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words
and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant
to grades 6–8 texts and topics.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.3.
Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking
measurements, or performing technical tasks.

MS-LS1-6
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis
in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
MS-LS1.B.
Plants reproduce in a variety of ways, sometimes
depending on animal behavior and specialized features
for reproduction. (MS-LS1-4)
Genetic factors as well as local conditions affect the
growth of the adult plant. (MSLS1-5)
MS-LS1.C.
Plants, algae (including phytoplankton), and many
microorganisms use the energy from light to make sugars
(food) from carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water
through the process of photosynthesis, which also releases
oxygen. These sugars can be used immediately or stored
for growth or later use. (MS-LS1-6)

energy from food and getting rid of waste—are carried out.
Fossil Forensics
Next Generation Science Standards
MS-LS4-1
Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the
existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history
of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past.

Organs and organ systems are composed of cells and help to provide all cells
with basic needs.
6C/M3
To burn food for the release of energy stored in it, oxygen must be supplied to
cells, and carbon dioxide removed. Lungs take in oxygen for the combustion of
food and eliminate the carbon dioxide produced. The urinary system disposes
of dissolved waste molecules, the intestinal tract removes solid wastes, and the
skin and lungs aid in the transfer of thermal energy from the body. The circulatory
system moves all these substances to or from cells where they are needed or
produced, responding to changing demands.

them for killing by other white cells. The antibodies produced will remain and can
fight off subsequent invaders of the same kind.
