Grade 8 Standards with Targets
SCI. 6-8.PS.01.01
Physical Science Standard : Matter : I understand the organization, properties, and arrangement of matter
Learning Target 1 : Organization : Matter Students will understand ways the Periodic Table is organized. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 2 : Properties : Students will understand that atoms are arranged in different ways. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 3 : Arrangement : Students will understand physical and chemical changes of matter. (Grade 8)
SCI. 6-8.PS.02.01
Physical Science Standard: Force and Motion: I understand the essential ideas of motion; Newton’s laws, momentum and energy. I can describe these ideas in multiple ways to predict the motion and behavior of objects.
Learning Target 1 : Motion : I can clearly describe and predict the direction and speed and acceleration of objects in multiple ways. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 2 : Newton’s Laws : I can clearly describe and predict how forces affect the motion and behavior of objects in systems. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 3 : momentum and energy: I can clearly describe and predict how momentum and energy can affect the motion and behavior of objects and systems. (Grade 8)
SCI. 6-8.PS.03.01
Physical Science Standard : Mechanical Systems: I understand the essential ideas of simple machines, work, energy and power by investigating the transfer and transformation of energy between objects and in systems
Learning Target 1 : Simple Machines : I can clearly describe simple machines and how they’re used. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 2 : Energy Application : I can identify the transfer and transformation of energy in everyday systems. (Grade 8)
SCI. 6-8.PS.04.01
Physical Science Standard : Heat : I can investigate the properties of heat and temperature
Learning Target 1 : I can describe how heat is transferred using conduction, convection and radiation. (Grade 8)
SCI. 6-8.PS.05.01
Physical Science Standard : Electricity and Magnetism : I can describe the differences between series and parallel circuits
Learning Target 1 : I can build both a series and parallel circuit describing the parts of each. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 2: Power Generation: I understand the nature and trade off of electrical power generation. (Grade 8)
SCI. 6-8.LS.04.01
Life Science : Heredity and Reproduction : Examine the role of DNA in transferring traits, differentiating cells and determining physical characteristics of organisms.
Learning Target 1 : I understand the role of nature vs. nurture in the development of an organism. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 2 : I understand patterns of inheritance in determining genotype and phenotype. (Grade 8)
Learning Target 3 : I understand the causes and effects of genetic and chromosomal mutations. (Grade 8)
Hybrid and Remote Student Expectations.
Late Work Procedure
- For late/missing assignments attached to performance targets:
- The lowest grade for a completed assignment is a 50.
- A 49 will act as a placeholder for missing assignments.
- Formative and summative assignments will be accepted within three class periods.
- After three class periods have passed and assignment is still not completed, a final grade of 50 and possibly a Not Met for the learning target on the specific assignment will be given.
- Extensions beyond the three class period rule will be at the teacher’s discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Reassessment and Revision Procedures:
- If a student wishes to retake or resubmit a summative assessment (major project or test):
- Students must complete a mutually agreed upon reassessment and revision plan with their teacher.
- Plans created with teacher will include deadlines, necessary steps to show improved learning, and appropriate setting (PASS, learning lab, etc.).
- Opportunities for retake or revision will be available for three class periods after the assessment has been returned to the student.
- Reassessment and revision opportunities will be given at the discretion of the teacher and are not guaranteed.
