Science 6:• Objective: The student knows that the human body is composed

of subsystems.• Engage: Question of the Day? How are body cells alike and

different? (Formative Assessment)• Explore: Science Lab: Human Body Systems (DE Streaming)• Explain: Each cell in the human body is a living unit and part of a

larger living unit. A cell is adapted to perform certain activities. Each cell in the body depends on and works together with other cells to keep the body in balance.

• Elaborate: Science Lab: Human Body Systems (DE Streaming)• Evaluate: Chapter 4 Lesson 1 Review

Science 5:• Objective: The student understands how changes in the

environment affect organisms (for example, some organisms move in, others move out; some organisms survive and reproduce, others die).

• Engage: Question of the day? What behavioral adaptation allows hawks to live in a city? (Formative assessment)

• Explore: Global Warming and Arctic Ecosystems• Explain: Some organisms change their behavior in response to a

change, such as the kinds or numbers of other organisms in their ecosystems.

• Elaborate: Guided Questions - Adaptations -Discovery Education• Evaluate: Guided Questions (Summative Assessment)

Science 4• Objective: The student knows that the water cycle is influenced by

temperature, pressure, and the topography of the land.• Engage: Question of the day? At what stage of the water cycle do

clouds form? Why? (Formative assessment)• Explore: Air pressure Activity• Explain:Earth's atmosphere is made up of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon

dioxide, water vapor, and other gases.Air pressure is caused by gravity pulling air toward Earth's surface.Air pressure is less at higher altitudes.

• Elaborate: Air Pressure Activity discussion questions as a class• Evaluate: Lesson 1 and 2 Review•
