Ratios and Proportional Relationships

7RP3 Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step

ratio and percent problems. Examples: percent error.

Solve multi-step percent problems,

including percent error.

Number System

6NS7 Solve real world and mathematical problems by graphing points

on all four quadrants for the coordinate plane.

Solve real world and mathematical problems

by graphing points on all four quadrants

of the coordinate plane.

Geometry

7G1 Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures,

including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing

and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Reproduce a scale drawing at a different scale.

7G6 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving area, volume,

and surface area of two and three dimensional objects composed

of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

Solve real world and mathematical

problems involving area of triangles.

Statistics and Probability

7SP1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information

about a population by examining a sample of the population.

Gather and examine statistics

drawn from a sample population.

7SP4 Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from

random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Draw informal comparative inferences

about two populations.

Next Generation Science Standards

Middle School Engineering Design Engineering Design

MSPETS1P1 Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem

with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account

relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural

environment that may limit possible solutions.

Define the criteria and constraints

of a design problem.

MSPETS1P2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systemic process

to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. Evaluate design solutions.

MSPETS1P3 Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences

among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that

can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.

Analyze data from tests to identify the best

characteristics that can be combined into

a new solution that better meets criteria.

MSPETS1P4 Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and

modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal

design can be achieved.

Develop a model to generate data for

iterative testing to obtain an optimal design.

ETS1.C Optimizing the Design Solution. The iterative process of testing the

most promising solutions and modifying what is proposed on the basis of the

test results leads to greater refinement and ultimately to an optimal solution.

(MSPETS1P4)

Complete an iterative process of testing

and modification for an optimal solution.

Heredity Inheritance and Variation of Traits

MSPLS3P2 Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction

results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction

results in offspring with genetic variation. (Clarification Statement: Emphasis is

on using models such as Punnet squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe

the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s)

to offspring and the resulting genetic variation.)

Develop use models, including Punnet Squares,

to describe why sexual reproduction results in

offspring with genetic variation and to represent

gene transmission.

MSPLS4P6 Use mathematical representations to support explanations

of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific

traits in populations over time.

Use mathematical representations to support

how natural selection may lead to increases and

decreases of specific traits in populations over time.

Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

MSPPS2P1 Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem

involving the motion of two colliding objects. (Assessment is limited to vertical

or horizontal interactions in one dimension.)

Design a solution to a problem involving the motion

of two colliding objects vertically or horizontally

in one dimension.

Cross-Cutting Concepts > Systems and System Models Models can be

used to represent systems and their interactions – such as inputs, processes,

and outputs.

Use models to represent systems and their

interactions, such as inputs, processes, and outputs.

Science and Engineering Practices > Engaging in Argument from Evidence

Construct and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical

evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a

model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.

Construct written arguments supported by scientific

reasoning to support a solution to a problem.
