This course is designed to engage students in a comprehensive program as they work to make sense of the natural and designed world through phenomenon-based instruction and the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) and Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs) of the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS). The Disciplinary Core Ideas for eighth grade include: waves and their applications in technologies, genetic mutations and variation, artificial selection, the fossil record, developmental relationships among organisms, adaptation, growth of organisms, survival and natural selection, Earth’s history, Earth’s systems, and Earth and human activity. In this course, students are expected to consistently apply the SEPs and demonstrate the correlation among the CCCs in order to make sense of and connect the DCIs across disciplines of science.
