<p>Conservatory Candyland Scavenger Hunt Aligned with State Standards</p><p>Grades: 5th-8th</p><p>NGSS</p><p>5-LS2-1. Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.</p><p>5-LS1-1. Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.</p><p>5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.</p><p>MS-PS1-3. Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.</p><p>MS-LS1-1. Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on developing evidence that living things are made of cells, distinguishing between living and non-living things, and understanding that living things may be made of one cell or many and varied cells.]</p><p>MS-LS1-6. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.</p><p>MS-LS3-2. Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual production results in offspring with genetic variation.</p><p>MS-LS1-5. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms. </p><p>MS-LS1-8. Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.</p><p>ELA & Math</p><p>RI.5.1 Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text</p><p>MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.</p><p>RST.6-8.2 Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text distinct from prior knowledge or opinions. </p><p>WHST.6-8.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources; assess the credibility of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources. </p><p>WHST.6-8.9 Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
