TEKS
for Middle School Science
|
How
the TEKS are Integrated into the Lesson
|
(6.2) (7.2) (8.2)
The student uses scientific inquiry during field and laboratory
investigations.
|
During the Activity, students will
construct a graph from data in a table using the computer.
|
| (6.4)(7.4)(8.4)
The student knows how to use a variety of tools and methods
to conduct science inquiry. |
Through the Presentation and Activity,
students will learn that the force of gravity moves the sea,
creating high and low tides.
|
| (6.6) (8.7)
The student knows that there is a relationship between force
and motion. |
Students will analyze and collect information
about elevation, sea level, and tides through web pages on
the computer.
By the end of the Activity, students
will identify a pattern between the sea level data and the
lunar phases.
|
| (8.10) The student
knows that complex interactions occur between matter and energy. |
Students will discover the reaction of the
Earth's oceans to the moon's gravitational pull by the end
of this lesson.
|
| (8.12) The student
knows that cycles exist in Earth systems. |
During the Activity, students will
use the monthly lunar cycle to analyze their graphs and discover
the daily cycle of tidal changes

TEKS
for Middle School Technology (Grades 6-8)
|
How
the TEKS are Integrated into the Lesson
|
(1) Foundations
The student demonstrates knowledge and appropriate use of hardware
components, software programs, and their connections.
|
Throughout the lesson, students will use terminology
including, but not limited to, World Wide Web (WWW), link,
Internet, Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and web page.
|
(2) Foundations
The student uses data input skills appropriate to the task.
|
Students will demonstrate proficient use of
the mouse and keyboard, as they navigate through the lesson
and related web pages.
|
(3) Foundations
The student complies with the laws and examines the issues regarding
the use of technology in society. |
While following links on the Internet and
using the World Wide Web (WWW), the student will demonstrate
proper etiquette and knowledge of acceptable computer use
in the classroom or lab.
|
(4) Information
Acquisition
The student uses a variety of strategies to acquire information
from electronic resources, with appropriate supervision. |
During the Presentation, the student
will use the Internet to find new information.
|
(6) Information
Acquisition
The student evaluates the acquired electronic information. |
The student will compare the data on their
graphs to the chart of lunar phases on the Internet during
the Activity.
|
(7) Solving Problems
The student uses appropriate computer-based productivity
tools to create and modify solutions to problems.
|
During the Activity, the student will
build a graph using tidal data from a spreadsheet.
|
(10) Communication
The student formats digital information for appropriate
and effective communication. |
The student will create a graph from a spreadsheet
to communicate information about sea level.
