The 5 Standards

                                    5 STANDARDS FROM MY 7TH GRADE SCIENCE YEAR.

Here are 5 awesome standards (and elements) that I learned all throughout the year. 

Standard S7L1:
Students will investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.
Element A:
Demonstrate the process for the development of a dichotomous key.
Element B: 
Classify organisms based on physical characteristics using a dichotomous key of  the six kingdom systems. 

Standard S7L2:
Students will describe the structure and functions of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. 
Element A: 
Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make needed materials. 
Element B:
Relate cell structures to basic cell functions. 
Element C:Explain that cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs, organs into systems, and systems into organisms. 
Element D:Explain that tissues, organs, and organ systems, serve the needs cells have for oxygen, food and waste removal. 
Element E:

Explain the purpose of the major organ systems in the human body. 

Standard S7L3:

Students will recognize how biological traits are passed on to successive generations. 
Element A:
Explain the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait. 
Element B:
Compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction in organisms.
Element C:
Recognize that selective breeding can produce plants or animals with desired traits. 


Standard S7L4:
Students will examine the dependence of organisms on one another and their environments.
Element A:
Demonstrate in a food web that matter is transferred from one organism to another and can recycle between organisms and their environments.
Element B:
Explain in a food web that sunlight is the source of energy and that this energy moves from organism to organism.
Element C:
Recognize that changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of both individuals and entire species.
Element D:
Categorize relationships between organisms that are competitive or mutually beneficial.
Element E:
Describe the characteristics of Earths major terrestial biomes.


Standard S7L5:
Students will examine the evolution of living organisms through inherited characteristics that promote survival of organisms and their survival of organisms and the survival of successive generations of their offspring. 
Element A:
Explain that physical characteristics of organisms have changed over successive generations. 
Element B:
Describe ways in which species on Earth have evolved due to natural selection.
Element C:
Explain how the fossil record found in sedimentary rock provides evidence for the long history of changing life forms. 


Those are 5 standard that I learned in my 7th grade science class. Hope you liked it, and if this post bored you, enjoy the video. :)
