SC.8.08

8th Grade

Course Purpose:

Eighth grade students will use scientific principles to quantify interactions among the components of the world they see.

Outcomes and Components:

SC.8.8	Students will relate photosynthesis to respiration in plants and verify the role of water in survival of plants.
