SC.8.L.18.1 (Level 3) – Describe and investigate the process of photosynthesis, such as the roles of light, carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll; production of food; release of oxygen.
SC.8.N.1.6 (Level 2) – Understand that scientific investigations involve the collection of relevant empirical evidence, the use of logical reasoning, and the application of imagination in devising hypotheses, predictions, explanations and models to make sense of the collected evidence.
SC.8.L.18.2 (Level 3)- Describe and investigate how cellular respiration breaks down food to provide energy and releases carbon dioxide.

• I am learning to describe the process of photosynthesis using word equations: o carbon dioxide + water + sunlight—> sugar (food) + oxygen + water
• I am learning to describe the role of light, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
• I am learning to identify organisms that contain chlorophyll and produce their own food also produce oxygen.
• I am learning to describe the process of cellular respiration using word equations: o oxygen + sugar(food) — > carbon dioxide + water
• I am learning to explain how cellular respiration breaks down food to provide energy and releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
• I am learning to explain why both plants and animals undergo cellular respiration as their energy source.
• I am learning to explain how living systems obey the Law of Conservation of Mass o NOS Focus – Design a controlled Experiment
