Weeks 25 - 29 FSA Review Standards: Text Support: Chapter 13 SC.8.L.18.1 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.L.18.2 Describe and investigate how cellular respiration breaks down food to provide energy and releases carbon dioxide. SC.8.L.18.3 Construct a scientific model of the carbon cycle to show how matter and energy are continuously transferred within and between organisms and their physical environment. SC.8.L.18.4 Cite evidence that living systems follow the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy. Students Will Be Able to: 1.0 – Identify and define the vocabulary describing aspects of the environment, organisms, and cells 2.0 – Categorize and classify the living and non-living components of ecosystems and distinguish between alternative processes. 3.0 – Formulate and compare the chemical processes cycling matter through nature and processing energy through organisms 4.0 – Apply concepts learned to create examples and connect to lab work and observations.
