S7L | Life Science
S7L1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the diversity of living organisms
and how they can be compared scientifically.
S7L1.a: Develop and defend a model that
categorizes organisms based on common
characteristics.
S7L1.b: Evaluate historical models of how 1. Describe, classify, and compare kingdoms TB2
organisms were classified based on physical
characteristics and how that led to the six kingdom
system (currently archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi,
plants, and animals).
S7L2 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe how cell structures, cells, tissues,
organs, and organ systems interact to maintain the basic needs of organisms.
S7L2.a: Develop a model and construct an Understanding cells
explanation of how cell structures (specifically the 1. Understanding cells JL5
nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, 2. Compare cells and cell parts 2V6
chloroplasts, lysosome, and mitochondria)
contribute to the function of the cell as a system in Animal cells
obtaining nutrients in order to grow, reproduce, 3. Identify functions of animal cell parts KS5
make needed materials, and process waste. 4. Animal cell diagrams: label parts 5C4
Plant cells
5. Identify functions of plant cell parts YMF
6. Plant cell diagrams: label parts SPR
S7L2.b: Develop and use a conceptual model of 1. Organization in the human body TXY
how cells are organized into tissues, tissues into
organs, organs into systems, and systems into
organisms.
S7L2.c: Construct an argument that systems of the 1. Organization in the human body TXY
body (Cardiovascular, Excretory, Digestive,
Respiratory, Muscular, Nervous, and Immune)
interact with one another to carry out life processes.

S7L3 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain how organisms reproduce either
sexually or asexually and transfer genetic information to determine the traits of their offspring.
S7L3.a: Construct an explanation supported with Genetics
scientific evidence of the role of genes and 1. Genetics vocabulary: genotype and
phenotype JSL
chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific
trait. 2. Genetics vocabulary: dominant and
recessive DDM
Traits

5. Use Punnett squares to calculate ratios of
offspring types V6F
6. Use Punnett squares to calculate probabilities of
offspring types K54
S7L3.b: Develop and use a model to describe how Genetic variation
asexual reproduction can result in offspring with 1. Cell division L2S
identical genetic information while sexual 2. Genetic variation in sexual reproduction J5A
reproduction results in genetic variation. 3. Genetics vocabulary: genotype and
phenotype JSL
4. Genetics vocabulary: dominant and
recessive DDM
5. Complete and interpret Punnett squares SHF
6. Use Punnett squares to calculate ratios of
offspring types V6F
7. Use Punnett squares to calculate probabilities of
offspring types K54
Life cycles
8. Angiosperm and conifer life cycles U67
9. Moss and fern life cycles 9J3
S7L3.c: Ask questions to gather and synthesize
information about the ways humans influence the
inheritance of desired traits in organisms through
selective breeding.

S7L4 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to examine the interdependence of organisms
with one another and their environments.
S7L4.a: Construct an explanation for the patterns 1. Classify symbiotic relationships XPZ
of interactions observed in different ecosystems in
terms of the relationships among and between
organisms and abiotic components of the
ecosystem.
S7L4.b: Develop a model to describe the cycling of 1. How does matter move in food chains? Q8D
matter and the flow of energy among biotic and 2. Interpret food webs I MK5
abiotic components of an ecosystem. 3. Interpret food webs II EPC
4. The carbon cycle 6M8
S7L4.c: Analyze and interpret data to provide 1. Use food chains to predict changes in
evidence for how resource availability, disease, populations 5YC
climate, and human activity affect individual
organisms, populations, communities, and
ecosystems.
S7L4.d: Ask questions to gather and synthesize 1. Identify ecosystems 7D2
information from multiple sources to differentiate 2. Describe ecosystems VBF
between Earth's major terrestrial biomes (i.e.,
tropical rain forest, savanna, temperate forest,
desert, grassland, taiga, and tundra) and aquatic
ecosystems (i.e., freshwater, estuaries, and marine).
S7L5 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information from multiple sources to explain the theory of
evolution of living organisms through inherited characteristics.
