Conforms To

Sunshine State Standards Grade Level Expectations: Mathematics (1996)

Strand B: Measurement

Standard 2: The student compares, contrasts, and converts within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary).

Benchmark MA.B.2.3.1: The student uses direct (measured) and indirect (not measured) measures to compare a given characteristic in either metric or customary units.

Eighth
1. finds measures of length, weight or mass, and capacity or volume using proportional relationships and properties of similar geometric figures

Conforms To

Sunshine State Standards Grade Level Expectations: Science (1996)

Strand H: The Nature of Science

Standard 1: The student uses the scientific processes and habits of mind to solve problems.

Benchmark SC.H.1.3.4: The student knows that accurate record keeping, openness, and replication are essential to maintaining an investigator's credibility with other scientists and society.

Seventh
1. extends and refines use of accurate records, openness, and replication of experiments to ensure credibility

Strand G: How Living Things Interact with Their Environments.

Standard 1: The student understands the competitive, interdependent, cyclic nature of living things in the environment.

Benchmark SC.G.1.3.2: The student knows that biological adaptations include changes in structures, behaviors, or physiology that enhance reproductive success in a particular environment.

Seventh
1. knows that biological adaptations include changes in structures, behaviors, or physiology that enhance reproductive success in a particular environment
