PS: Physical Science
17.1: Forces and Motion
8.PS.1: Objects can experience a force due to an external field such as magnetic, electrostatic, or gravitational fields.
8.PS.2: Forces can act to change the motion of objects.
LS: Life Science
27.1: Species and Reproduction
8.LS.1: Diversity of species, a result of variation of traits, occurs through the process of evolution and extinction over many generations. The fossil records provide evidence that changes have occurred in number and types of species.
8.LS.2: Every organism alive today comes from a long line of ancestors who reproduced successfully every generation.
8.LS.3: The characteristics of an organism are a result of inherited traits received from parent(s).
