the same in an experiment.
4. Explain what happens when more
than one variable (condition) is
changed on purpose in an
experiment.

having equal masses can have
different volumes.

ecosystem.
55. Describe ways that plants
and animals change the
landscape or keep it from
changing.
56. Identify human actions that
cause changes in
ecosystems.
59. Describe the physical and
chemical changes that cause
rocks to weather.
60. Explain with examples how
rivers reshape the land over
both the long term
(weathering, erosion, and
deposition) and short term
(storms and floods).
61. Explain with examples how
waves along the beach
erode and deposit materials.
62. Explain how wind erodes and
deposits materials.
63. Compare and contrast the
effects of erosion by moving
water and by ice.
64. Interpret the role of gravity in
both fast and slow erosion.
14. State the cell theory.
15. Describe how various scientific
discoveries led to the
development of the cell theory.
16. Recognize that most cells can
only be seen using the
magnifying power of a
microscope.
17. Explain why most cells are small.
18. Distinguish between prokaryotes
and eukaryotes.
19. Draw and label the main
organelles in a typical plant cell
and a typical animal cell.
20. Identify the function of each
organelle in plant and animal
cells.
21. Explain why the process of
osmosis is important to cells.
22. Compare and contrast unicellular
and multicellular organisms.
23. Review the levels of cellular
organization.
24. Describe the role of specialized
cells in various multicellular
organisms.
25. Review the structure and
function of human body systems.
26. Explain why cells in multicellular
organisms divide.
27. Illustrate and explain the function
of each part of the cell cycle,
including mitosis.
43. Identify the biotic and abiotic
parts of an environment.
44. Define population, community,
and ecosystem and identify
examples of each.
45. Compare and contrast how
producers, consumers, and
decomposers in a food web
recycle energy through the
ecosystem.
46. Describe the role of bacteria,
fungi, and worms in adding
organic matter to the soil.
47. Explain what an energy pyramid
shows about energy in an
ecosystem
48. Identify specific adaptations
that help organisms survive
and reproduce in specific
environments.
49. Describe specific behaviors
of animals that help them
survive in their environment.
50. Compare and contrast
interactions between
organisms (competition,
predator-prey, mutualism
and symbiosis).
51. Describe plant tropisms that
help plants survive in their
environments.
52. Explain how the nitrogen,
carbon, and oxygen cycles
recycle matter throughout the
environment.
53. Predict how a short-term
change in the abiotic or
biotic factors in an
ecosystem could change the
populations of organisms
living there.
We will take a little time for the following
