Benchmarks for EOC

As you know, the EOC is next week. Last month you were assigned Science Compass Odyssey to help you begin your review. You should review the following benchmarks.  Go through your ISN, Green book and Red book to review also. Posing questions and answering them to help you review is a good strategy. I will post some questions in the next entry.

SC.6.N.1.2 Explain why scientific investigations should be replicable. High (EOC)




SC.6.N.1.3 Explain the difference between an experiment and other types of scientific investigation, and explain the relative benefits and limitations of each. High (EOC)



SC.6.N.1.4 Discuss, compare, and negotiate methods used, results obtained, and explanations among groups of students conducting the same investigation. High (EOC)



SC.6.N.1.5 Recognize that science involves creativity, not just in designing experiments, but also in creating explanations that fit evidence. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.N.2.1 Distinguish science from other activities involving thought. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.N.2.2 Explain that scientific knowledge is durable because it is open to change as

new evidence or interpretations are encountered Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.N.2.3 Recognize that scientists who make contributions to scientific knowledge come from all kinds of backgrounds and possess varied talents, interests, and goals. Low (EOC)

SC.6.N.3.1 Recognize and explain that a scientific theory is a well-supported and widely accepted explanation of nature and is not simply a claim posed by an individual. Thus, the use of the term theory in science is very different than how it is used in everyday life. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.N.3.2 Recognize and explain that a scientific law is a description of a specific relationship under given conditions in the natural world. Thus, scientific laws are different from societal laws. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.N.3.3 Give several examples of scientific laws. Low (EOC)

SC.6.E.7.1 Differentiate among radiation, conduction, and convection, the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth's system. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.4 Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. High (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.2 Investigate and apply how the cycling of water between the atmosphere and hydrosphere has an effect on weather patterns and climate. High (EOC)



SC.6.N.3.4 Identify the role of models in the context of the sixth grade science benchmarks. Moderate (EOC)



SC.912.P.10.4 Describe heats as the energy transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation, and explain the connection of heat to change in temperature of states of matter. High (EOC)



SC.912.E.7.3 Differentiate and describe the various interactions among Earth systems, including: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. High (EOC)

SC.6.E.7.3 Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, humidity and precipitation. High (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.5 Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land. High (EOC)





SC.6.E.7.6 Differentiate between weather and climate. Moderate (EOC)





SC.912.E.7.5 Predict future weather conditions based on present observations and conceptual models and recognize limitations and uncertainties of such predictions. High (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.7 Investigate how natural disasters have affected human life in Florida. High (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.9 Describe how the structure of the atmosphere protects life and insulates the planet. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.E.7.8 Describe ways human beings protect themselves from hazardous weather and sun exposure. Moderate (EOC)



HE.6.C.1.3 Identify environmental factors that effect personal health.



SC.912.E.7.6 Relate the formation of severe weather to the various physical factors. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.E.6.1 Describe and give examples of ways in which Earth’s surface is built up and torn down by physical and chemical weathering, erosion, and deposition. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.E.6.2 Recognize that there are a variety of different landforms on Earth’s surface such as coastlines, dunes, rivers, mountains, glaciers, deltas, and lakes and relate these landforms as they apply to Florida. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.L.14.1 Describe and identify patterns in the hierarchical organization of organisms from atoms to molecules and cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms. Low (EOC)



SC.6.L.14.2 Investigate and explain the components of the scientific theory of cells (cell theory): all organisms are composed of cells (single-celled or multi-cellular), all cells come from pre-existing cells, and cells are the basic unit of life. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.L.14.3 Recognize and explore how cells of all organisms undergo similar processes to maintain homeostasis, including extracting energy from food, getting rid of waste, and reproducing. Moderate (EOC)



SC. 6.L.14.4 Compare and contrast the structure and function of major organelles of plant and animal cells, including cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplast, mitochondria, and vacuoles. Moderate (EOC)



SC.912.L.14.2 Relate structure to function for the components of plant and animal cells. Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (passive and active transport). Moderate (EOC)



SC.912.L.14.3 Compare and contrast the general structures of plant and animal cells. Compare and contrast the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Moderate (EOC)



SC.912.L.16.14 Describe the cell cycle, including the process of mitosis. Explain the role of mitosis in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during asexual reproduction. Moderate

SC.6.L.14.5 Identify and investigate the general functions of the major systems of the human body (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, reproductive, excretory, immune, nervous, and musculoskeletal) and describe ways these systems interact with each other to maintain homeostasis. High (EOC)



SC.6.L.15.1 Analyze and describe how and why organisms are classified according to shared characteristics with emphasis on the Linnaean system combined with the concept of Domains. High (EOC)



SC.912.L.15.6 Discuss distinguishing characteristics of the domains and kingdoms of living organisms. Moderate (EOC)

SC.6.P.13.3 Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.P.13.1 Investigate and describe types of forces including contact forces and forces acting at a distance, such as electrical, magnetic, and gravitational. Moderate (EOC)



SC.6.P.13.2 Explore the Law of Gravity by recognizing that every object exerts gravitational force on every other object and that the force depends on how much mass the objects have and how far apart they are. Low (EOC)

SC.6.N.3.3 Give several examples of scientific laws. Low (EOC)



SC.6.P.11.1 Explore the Law of Conservation of Energy by differentiating between potential and kinetic energy. Identify situations where kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and vice versa. Moderate (EOC)
