  1. How to Pass the 8th Grade Science EOG

  2. How the test breaks down • Matter: Properties and Change 14–16% • Energy Conservation and Transfer 10–12% • Earth Systems, Structures,andProcesses 13–15% • Earth History 11–13% • Structure and Function of Living Organisms 19–23% • Ecosystems 9–11% • Evolution and Genetics 11–13% • Molecular Biology 8–10% • Total 100%

  3. Hydrosphere: Earth Systems, Structures and Processes • Pages 12-23 (Coach Lessons 21-25) • CASH CAMP • Structure of hydrosphere (rivers, oceans, water distribution) • Oceans (nutrients, estuaries, ecosystems, upwelling, technology) • Food webs (aquatic terrestrial) • How water affects climate

  4. Hydrosphere Cont’d • Hydrospheric data (Temperature, pH, DO, nitrates, turbidity, Bio-indicators) • Technology and information systems used to monitor hydrosphere (satellite imagery, etc.) • How we affect quality and how it affects us (pollution, economic trade-offs, runnoff) • How we can help (monitoring, water treatment, stewardship)

  5. Chemistry- Matter: Properties and Change • p. 2-10 (coach lessons 1-6) • Matter, mass, density, weight, volume, D=?? • Elements, Compounds and Mixtures based on atomic structure • Proton, neutron, electron, nucleus • How atoms move in liquid, solid, gas • Periodic Table- atomic number, atomic mass, state, VE,

  6. Chemistry Cont’d • Periodic Table layout (groups, families, periods, increasing atomic ??) • Identification based on characteristic physical properties (density, specific heat, chemical reactivity, solubility, melting, boiling points) • Quantities related to physical and chemical changes (temp., volume, mass, precipitate, gas production)

  7. Chemistry STILL cont’d • Physical and Chemical reactions and changes (Gas formation, precipitate, color change) • Conservation of Mass (balancing chemical equations) • Common substances- salt, water, carbon dioxide. Etc. • How to write formulas and symbols • Balancing chemical equations

  8. Last Chemistry!! (Energy) • Energy- obtaining, transforming, distributing • Renewable and Nonrenewable • Consequences (affects on fresh water)

  9. Earth History • Pages 23-26 38-40, Lessons 26-32 • Fossils as evidence of life (Catastrophism, Uniformitarianism) • Fossils and types • Geologic Time Scale (focus on Eras) • Relative Dating (Index fossils) • Absolute Dating (Radiometric) • Artifacts used to date Earth- Ice Cores, Sedimentary Rock, Evid of Climate Change • Faults

  10. EH- Evolution • Evolution- Change • Theory of Evolution, Plate Tectonics, Law of Superpostition • Adaptation- Micro and Macro (Biological Classification) • Evolutionary theories (biological, geological, technological) • Geologic Evolution (Pangaea, distribution of living things, major geological events) • Plate Tectonics

  11. Ecosystems • Page 32-37 Coach 17-20 • Factors that affect populations- food, shelter, water, space • Biotic/Abiotic- dynamic, disruptions and populations • Population density- density dependent and independent factors, Biotic and Abiotic

  12. More Ecosystems • How organisms interact- predation, competition, symbiotic, parasitism, mutualism, • Sun drives it all • Food provides fuel • Food webs- trophic levels • Autotroph, heterotroph • Ecological pyramids

  13. Life Science Diseases • Pages 27-29 Coach 14,15 • Viruses • Bacteria • Fungi • Parasites • Outbreaks • Epidemic • Pandemic

  14. BioTech • Pages 29-31 Coach 16 • Tech vs. Biotech • Examples • In Health Industry • Affects every area of our lives

  15. Molecular Biology • Pages 41-44 Coach 10-13 • How food provides energy (including plants) • Cell Functions (organelles, mitosis, meiosis) • Respiration, Photosynthesis • Food goes through a process for you to be able to use it (plants too) • Cells use food to divide

  16. Relationship between healthy diet, exercise and body health • Metabolism and why to eat right (energy in=energy out) • Metabolism used for • Proteins, lipids, carbs

  17. Test Taking • Mark out answers • Go with 1st answer • Look back to see if memory jogged • Use resources (paper, periodic table) • Think about labs or activites • Common sense!!!Don’t over think!! • Take your time!! 4 hours! • And always remember…. • BE POSITIVE!!!
