STRAND NGSS.MS-LS. LIFE SCIENCE
TITLE MS-LS1. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes - Students who
demonstrate understanding can:
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION / FOUNDATION MS-LS1.CC. Crosscutting Concepts
ELEMENT MS-LS1.CC.5. Structure and Function
INDICATOR MS-LS1.CC.5.1. Complex and microscopic structures and systems can be visualized,
modeled, and used to describe how their function depends on the
relationships among its parts, therefore complex natural and designed
structures/systems can be analyzed to determine how they function. (MS-
LS1-2)
STRAND NGSS.MS-LS. LIFE SCIENCE
TITLE MS-LS3. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits - Students who demonstrate
understanding can:
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION / FOUNDATION MS-LS3.SEP. Science and Engineering Practices
ELEMENT MS-LS3.SEP.1. Developing and Using Models - Modeling in 6–8 builds on K–5
experiences and progresses to developing, using, and revising models to
describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design
systems.
INDICATOR MS-LS3.SEP.1.1. Develop and use a model to describe phenomena. (MS-LS3-1), (MS-LS3-
2)
STRAND NGSS.MS-LS. LIFE SCIENCE
TITLE MS-LS3. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits - Students who demonstrate
understanding can:
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION / FOUNDATION MS-LS3.DCI. Disciplinary Core Ideas
ELEMENT LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms
INDICATOR LS1.B:1. Organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually, and transfer their
genetic information to their offspring. (secondary to MS-LS3-2)

TITLE MS-LS3. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits - Students who demonstrate
understanding can:
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION / FOUNDATION MS-LS3.DCI. Disciplinary Core Ideas
ELEMENT LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits
INDICATOR LS3.A:2. Variations of inherited traits between parent and offspring arise from
genetic differences that result from the subset of chromosomes (and
therefore genes) inherited. (MS-LS3-2)

understanding can:
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION / FOUNDATION MS-LS3.CC. Crosscutting Concepts
ELEMENT MS-LS3.CC.2. Structure and Function
INDICATOR MS-LS3.CC.2.1. Complex and microscopic structures and systems can be visualized,
modeled, and used to describe how their function depends on the
shapes, composition, and relationships among its parts, therefore
complex natural and designed structures/systems can be analyzed to
determine how they function. (MS-LS3-1)
