Unit: Cells Energetics (Resources)
Recall Reference Points
(relevant elementary & middle grade
benchmarks)
SC.8.L.18.1 - Describe and investigate the process of photosynthesis, such as the roles of light, carbon
dioxide, water and chlorophyll; production of food; release of oxygen.
SC.8.L.18.2 - Describe and investigate how cellular respiration breaks down food to provide energy
and releases carbon dioxide.
NOTE: However, the Benchmarks covered in this unit require prerequisite knowledge of the
following NGSSS from lower grades: SC.6.E.7.4.
