Big Idea 18: Matter and Energy Transformations (Hannah)

A. Living things all share basic needs for life.

B. Living organisms acquire the energy they need for life processes through various metabolic pathways (photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

C. Matter and energy are recycled through cycles such as the carbon cycle.

Essential Question *

How do students know what state standards they are expected to learn and are they able to demonstrate knowledge of the standards and reflect on their knowledge?

Things to include in OHpedia entry *

 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 ofoxygen. 

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 theirphysical environment. 

SC.8.L.18.4: Cite evidence that living systems follow the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy.
