Description

Outlining and planning a science scope and sequence can pose its challenges even with curriculum. These science scope and sequences have been prioritized to help you maximize your planning time and instructional time in class. These science scope and sequence are to be used with the Amplify Science curriculum.

These scope and sequences provide you with a year at a glance with a recommended sequence for teaching the science units and chapters. Next, they provide you an outline of the lessons for each chapter, including the Next Generation Science Standards (which are linked in the resource), the anchoring phenomenon, and the role the students play throughout the unit.

We have sifted through each lesson and identified the highest leverage activities, along with suggestions on what to cut out of instruction while still maintaining a cohesive story and unit. We’ve also added a heads up prep box for some units, that gives you heads up when you have to prepare something for the upcoming lessons, giving you time to get ahead and not realize the day of the lesson you were supposed to plant seeds for the students to observe.

Save time and plan ahead with our prioritized units in science using Amplify!

We recommend pairing this resource with our unit assessments.

NGSSMS-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. Emphasis is on developing evidence that living things are made of cells, distinguishing between living and non-living cells, and understanding that living things may be made of one cell or many and varied cells.

NGSSMS-LS3-1

Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.

NGSSMS-ESS3-4

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change. The consequences of increases in human populations and consumption of natural resources are described by science, but science does not make the decisions for the actions society takes.

NGSSMS-ESS2-4

Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. Emphasis is on the ways water changes its state as it moves through the multiple pathways of the hydrologic cycle. Examples of models can be conceptual or physical. A quantitative understanding of the latent heats of vaporization and fusion is not assessed.

NGSSMS-PS3-3

Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. Examples of devices could include an insulated box, a solar cooker, and a Styrofoam cup. Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.
