SCIENCE.7.5.B — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade
S.K.5.B

investigate and predict cause-and-effect relationships in science;

S.1.5.B

investigate and predict cause-and-effect relationships in science;

S.2.5.B

investigate and predict cause-and-effect relationships in science;

S.3.5.B

identify and investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems;

S.4.5.B

identify and investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems;

S.5.5.B
identify and investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems;
S.6.5.B
identify and investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems;
S.7.5.B
identify and investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems;
S.8.5.B

SCIENCE.7.5.B — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
identify cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems
investigate cause-and-effect relationships to explain scientific phenomena or analyze problems

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Math

Math.7.1.B use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution

Math.7.1.F  analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas

Social Studies

SS.7.20.B analyze information by applying absolute and relative chronology through sequencing, categorizing, identifying cause-and-effect relationships, comparing, contrasting, finding the main idea, summarizing, making generalizations and predictions, and drawing inferences and conclusions

Technology Applications

TA.7.1.B  analyze the patterns and sequences found in flowcharts

TA.7.6.A  use digital tools in order to transform data to analyze trends and make inferences and predictions
