4.Predict the motion of an object given the magnitude and direction of forces acting upon it (net force). CMT Correlation: CMT Correlation: 5. Design and conduct a scientific simulation to explore the relationship between the angle of the light source and the temperature on the surface it strikes. CMT Correlation:
 * Zones Of Intervention 8th Grade Science **
 * **Content Standard ** || **Expected Performance ** || **Library-based Authentic Task ** ||
 * **8.1 — An object’s inertia causes **
 * it to continue to move the way it is moving unless it is **
 * acted upon by a force. **
 * 8.1.b. **An unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion || 5. Investigate and demonstrate how unbalanced forces cause acceleration (change in speed and/or direction of an object’s motion).
 * C23. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Describe the qualitative relationships among force, mass and changes in motion. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create a video showing how changes in motion are caused by outside forces. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">8.2 — Reproduction is a characteristic of living systems and it is essential for the continuation of every species. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">8.2.a. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Heredity is the passage of genetic information from one generation to another. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">2.Describe the structure, location and function of chromosomes, genes and DNA and how they relate to each other in the living cell.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">C27. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Describe how genetic information is organized in genes on chromosomes, and explain sex determination in humans. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create pedigree charts to show how traits are passed on through generations and use charts to act as a genetic counselor to calculate the probability of inheriting traits. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">8.3 — The solar system is composed of planets and other objects that orbit the sun. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">8.3.b. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The motion of the earth and moon relative to the sun causes daily, monthly and yearly cycles on the earth. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">3.Use models to explain how Earth’s revolution around the sun affects changes in daylight hours and seasonal temperatures.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">C29. **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Explain how the relative motion and relative position of the sun, Earth and moon affect the seasons, phases of the moon and eclipses || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will design a model of the Earth and sun in order to show how the position of the Earth is related to how sunlight hits the Earth and causes seasons. They will act as a museum employee and educate a group on what causes seasons. ||
