...........................8th
Grade CA State Science Standards: Investigation and Experimentation
..............................................Scientific progress is made
by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
As a basis for understanding this concept and
addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop
their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
1. Plan
and conduct a scientific investigation to test a hypothesis.
2. Evaluate the
accuracy and reproducibility of data.
3. Distinguish between variable
and controlled parameters in a test.
4. Recognize the slope of the linear
graph as the constant in the relationship y=kx and apply this principle
in interpreting graphs constructed from data.
5. Construct appropriate
graphs from data and develop quantitative statements about the relationships
between variables.
6. Apply simple mathematic relationships to determine a
missing quantity in a mathematic expression, given the two remaining
terms
.......................
(including speed = distance/time, density = mass/volume, force
= pressure × area,
volume = area × height).
7. Distinguish between linear and nonlinear
relationships on a graph of data

..........................Each of the more than 100 elements of matter has distinct properties and a distinct atomic structure.
.................. .................All forms of matter are composed of one or more of the elements. As a basis for understanding this concept:
1.Students know the structure of the atom and know it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
2. Students know that compounds are formed by combining two or more different elements and that compounds have properties that are different from their constituent elements.
3. Students know atoms and molecules form solids by building up repeating patterns, such as the crystal structure of NaCl or long-chain polymers.
4. Students know the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) depend on molecular motion.
5. Students know that in solids the atoms are closely locked in position and can only vibrate; in liquids the atoms and molecules are more loosely connected and can collide with and
.................. move past one another; and in gases the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
6.Students know how to use the periodic table to identify elements in simple compounds.

......................................8th
Grade CA State Science Standards: The Periodic Table
......Periodic
Table: The organization of the periodic table is based
on the properties of the elements and reflects the structure of atoms.
1. Students know how to identify regions corresponding
to metals, nonmetals, and inert gases.
2. Students know each element
has a specific number of protons in the nucleus (the atomic number)
and each isotope of the element has a different but specific number
of neutrons in the nucleus.
3. Students know substances can be classified
by their properties, including their melting temperature, density,
hardness, and thermal and electrical conductivity.

......................................8th
Grade CA State Science Standards:Chemical Reactions
.........Chemical
Reactions: Chemical
reactions are processes in which atoms are rearranged into different
combinations of molecules.
1.
Students know: Reactant
atoms and molecules interact to form products with different
chemical properties.
2. Students know: The idea of
atoms explains the conservation of matter: In chemical reactions
the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are
arranged, so their total mass stays the same.
3. Students know: Chemical reactions
usually liberate heat or absorb heat.
4. Students know: Physical processes
include freezing and boiling, in which a material changes
form with no chemical reaction.
5. Students know how to determine
whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral
