FL.SC.8.L.18.3 Construct a scientific model of the carbon cycle to 0 show how matter and energy are continuously transferred within and between organisms and their physical environment. FL.SC.8.P.8.6 Recognize that elements are grouped in the 0 periodic table according to similarities of their properties. FL.SC.8.P.8.5 Recognize that there are a finite number of 0 elements and that their atoms combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds that make up all of the living and nonliving things that we encounter. FL.SC.8.P.8.4 Classify and compare substances on the basis of 0 characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example, density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample. FL.SC.8.P.8.3 Explore and describe the densities of various 0 materials through measurement of their masses and volumes. FL.SC.8.E.5.10 Assess how technology is essential to science for 0 such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information. FL.SC.8.E.5.1 Recognize that there are enormous distances 0 between objects in space and apply our knowledge of light and space travel to understand this distance. Benchmark Review Angelica Sclocchi 1/7/2025 P.5 FL.SC.8.N.1.6 Understand that scientific investigations involve 0 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. FL.SC.8.N.1.2 Design and conduct a study using repeated trials 0 and replication. FL.SC.8.N.1.1 Define a problem from the eighth grade curriculum 0 using appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types, such as systematic observations or experiments, identify variables, collect and organize data, interpret data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions. FL.SC.7.L.17.1 Explain and illustrate the roles of and relationships 0 among producers, consumers, and decomposers in the process of energy transfer in a food web. FL.SC.7.L.15.3 Explore the scientific theory of evolution by relating 0 how the inability of a species to adapt within a changing environment may contribute to the extinction of that species. FL.SC.7.P.11.4 Observe and describe that heat flows in 0 predictable ways, moving from warmer objects to cooler ones until they reach the same temperature. FL.SC.7.P.11.1 Recognize that adding heat to or removing heat 0 from a system may result in a temperature change and possibly a change of state. FL.SC.7.P.10.3 Recognize that light waves, sound waves, and 0 other waves move at different speeds in different materials. FL.SC.7.P.10.2 Observe and explain that light can be reflected, 0 refracted, and/or absorbed. Benchmark Review Angelica Sclocchi 1/7/2025 P.5 FL.SC.7.E.6.5 Explore the scientific theory of plate tectonics by 0 describing how the movement of Earth's crustal plates causes both slow and rapid changes in Earth's surface, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and mountain building. FL.SC.7.N.3.1 Recognize and explain the difference between 0 theories and laws and give several examples of scientific theories and the evidence that supports them. FL.SC.7.N.2.1 Identify an instance from the history of science in 0 which scientific knowledge has changed when new evidence or new interpretations are encountered. FL.SC.7.N.1.4 Identify test variables (independent variables) and 0 outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment. FL.SC.7.N.1.3 Distinguish between an experiment (which must 0 involve the identification and control of variables) and other forms of scientific investigation and explain that not all scientific knowledge is derived from experimentation. FL.SC.6.L.14.4 Compare and contrast the structure and function 0 of major organelles of plant and animal cells, including cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles. FL.SC.6.L.13.3 Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force 0 acting in an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both. FL.SC.6.N.3.1 Recognize and explain that a scientific theory is a 0 well-supported and widely accepted explanation of nature and is not simply a claim posed by an individual. Thus, the use of the term theory in science is very different than how it is used in everyday life. FL.SC.6.N.2.2 Explain that scientific knowledge is durable 0 because it is open to change as new evidence or interpretations are encountered. Benchmark Review Angelica Sclocchi 1/7/2025 P.5 FL.SC.8.E.5.9 Explain the impact of objects in space on each 33 other including: 1. ​ the Sun on the Earth including seasons and gravitational attraction 2. ​ the Moon on the Earth, including phases, tides, and eclipses, and the relative position of each body. FL.SC.7.L.17.2 Compare and contrast the relationships among 50 organisms such as mutualism, predation, parasitism, competition, and commensalism. FL.SC.7.L.15.2 Explore the scientific theory of evolution by 50 recognizing and explaining ways in which genetic variation and environmental factors contribute to evolution by natural selection and diversity of organisms. FL.SC.7.P.10.1 Illustrate that the sun's energy arrives as radiation 50 with a wide range of wavelengths, including infrared, visible, and ultraviolet, and that white light is made up of a spectrum of many different colors. FL.SC.7.N.1.2 Differentiate replication (by others) from repetition 50 (multiple trials). FL.SC.6.L.15.1 Analyze and describe how and why organisms are 50 classified according to shared characteristics with emphasis on the Linnaean system combined with the concept of Domains. FL.SC.6.L.14.2 Investigate and explain the components of the 50 scientific theory of cells (cell theory): all organisms are composed of cells (single-celled or multi-cellular), all cells come from pre-existing cells, and cells are the basic unit of life. FL.SC.6.L.14.1 Describe and identify patterns in the hierarchical 50 organization of organisms from atoms to molecules and cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms. FL.SC.6.E.7.5 Explain how energy provided by the sun 50 influences global patterns of atmospheric Benchmark Review Angelica Sclocchi 1/7/2025 P.5 movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land. FL.SC.8.P.9.2 Differentiate between physical changes and 66 chemical changes. FL.SC.8.E.5.7 Compare and contrast the properties of objects in 66 the Solar System including the Sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. FL.SC.8.E.5.5 Describe and classify specific physical properties 66 of stars: apparent magnitude (brightness), temperature (color), size, and luminosity (absolute brightness). FL.SC.8.E.5.3 Distinguish the hierarchical relationships between 66 planets and other astronomical bodies relative to solar system, galaxy, and universe, including distance, size, and composition. FL.SC.7.N.1.5 Describe the methods used in the pursuit of a 66 scientific explanation as seen in different fields of science such as biology, geology, and physics.
