Learning Activities Grade 8
Suggested Learning Activities for Grade 8 students during the COVID-19 school closure.
Seattle Public Schools is committed to making its online information accessible and usable to all people, regardless of ability or technology. Meeting web accessibility guidelines and standards is an ongoing process that we are consistently working to improve.
While Seattle Public Schools endeavors to only post documents optimized for accessibility, due to the nature and complexity of some documents, an accessible version of the document may not be available. In these limited circumstances, the District will provide equally effective alternate access.
Due to the COVID-19 closure, teachers were asked to provide packets of home activities. This is not intended to take the place of regular classroom instruction but will help supplement student learning and provide opportunities for student learning while they are absent from school. Assignments are not required or graded. Because of the unprecedented nature of this health crisis and the District’s swift closure, some home activities may not be accessible.
If you have difficulty accessing the material or have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher.
Hola Familias de Secundaria de las Escuelas Públicas de Seattle,
Esperamos que usted y su familia estén bien y seguros durante esta temporada. Durante este tiempo sin precedentes fuera de la escuela, el equipo de ciencias de la escuela secundaria de SPS ofrecerá oportunidades de instrucción para los estudiantes, que se alinean con los materiales de instrucción de ciencias de la escuela secundaria adoptados por el distrito.
Este paquete de investigación es parte de una serie de lecciones extraescolares remotas alineadas con el distrito, desarrolladas por AmplifyScience. Si bien las lecciones de Amplify Science están diseñadas para realizarse en el aula con sus compañeros, hay algunas actividades que los estudiantes pueden completar en casa. En este paquete encontrará actividades para acompañar los videos de las lecciones que se transmiten esta semana a través de la programación de televisión pública de Seattle en SPS TV (canal local 26). Los videos y paquetes también se publican en la página web de SPS, https://www.seattleschools.org/academics/curriculum/science.
Los subtítulos para los videos están disponibles en muchos idiomas caseros si esto es útil para su familia.

Unit Question: Why do species, both living and extinct, share similarities and have differences?
Chapter 2: Investigating Body Structure Differences
Warm Up: Use the picture below to find the answers to the questions:
Evolutionary time: the very long time that spans the history of Earth, from the very first cellular life to the present
1. When was Earth formed? _________________________ years ago
2. All species on Earth today came from an original single celled organism, which is our most distant common ancestor? _______________________________________________________________
3. When did the first living things evolve? __________________________ years ago.
4. What evolved first; land plants, mammals, or fish? __________________________________________
5. When did humans evolve? ______________________________ years ago.
6. What is surprising to you about this diagram? ______________________________________________
1. Read each card then think about how big you think the evolutionary change on each card is. HINT: Decide
whether big changes take a long time or a short time!
2. “Sort” the Structure Change Cards using your ideas about how long evolutionary changes take to happen. Assign each card below a LETTER according to how long you think the changes took. The card that shows a
change that took the LONGEST time should be labeled LETTER A and the card that shows a change that took
Comparing Giraffes to two species: Acanthostega and Elomeryx
Compare giraffe structures with structures of species that lived a very long time ago to help you answer the Investigation Question: How did descendant species from a common ancestor become very different from one another?
If you have access to the Amplify platform, log-in and open the Sim in Lesson 2.4. Select the Vertebrates Mode of the Sim, press the TREE button to open Tree View. If you do not have access to the Sim, complete the following questions using the diagram below
_____ Two descendant populations look very different, even though they have many similar structures.
_____ An ancestor population gets separated into different environments.

back limbs (legs), and ( small / medium / large ) front limbs (arms). d. At Time 2, Population B had ( short / medium / long ) tails, ( thin / thick ) backbones, ( small / medium / large )
back limbs (legs), and ( small / medium / large ) front limbs (arms).
3. Reflection Questions
a. How does this model show how species that share a common ancestor can become very different from one another?
b. What remains stable over time in your model? What changes?
As you know, whales, wolves, and the Mystery Fossil have shared structures, but those structures look very
different from one another! Show what you have learned by answering the question:
How did wolves, whales, and the Mystery Fossil become so different from their common ancestor population?
□ Write THREE sentences to answer the question below. □ Each sentence needs to use at least TWO words from the word bank. □ Use the Glossary at the end of the packet to help you!
Claim 1: The Mystery Fossil belongs with the whales, in the Whale (Cetacea) exhibit.
Claim 2: The Mystery Fossil belongs with the wolves, in the Carnivore (Carnivora) exhibit.
In the space provided below, answer the following questions:
Which claim do you think is best supported, based on what you know so far? Why do you think this? Explain where you think the Mystery Fossil should be placed in the museum and why.

The Bounce Page app is a place where you can access Virtual Nerd videos. These are interactive tutorial videos that go over the fundamental math concepts of each lesson.
You can download Pearson Bounce Pages from your Android or Apple store.
TIPS FOR USING BOUNCE PAGE
1. AIM the camera so the FULL page is easily viewable on your screen. For best results, flatten the page, or if scanning a screen be sure the entire page is visible on your phone screen.
2. TAP the screen to scan the entire front of the page. Scan the ENTIRE page. Scanning a single problem will not work. Scan the page BEFORE students write on the page.
3. BOUNCE the page to life by clicking your Bounce Pages program icon.
4. If the wrong video comes up, close the app entirely and try again. It should work the second time!
5. Update the operating system on your device and the Bounce Pages app as needed.
When a figure is transformed by a counterclockwise rotation about the origin, the x- and y-coordinates of its points change in predictable ways.
△A′B′C′ is the image of △ABC after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.
Counterclockwise Rotations About the Origin
Angle of Rotation Transformation
90° (x, y) ➞ ( -y, x)
180° (x, y) ➞ ( -x, -y)
270° (x, y) ➞ (y, -x)
Each point (x, y) is mapped to ( -x, -y):
A( - 1, 1) S A’(1, - 1)
B( - 2, 3) S B’(2, - 3)
C( - 4, 2) S C’(4, - 2)
Describe the rotation that maps △QRS to △Q′R′S′.
1. Write the coordinates of the vertices.
Q( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ ) S Q′( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ ) R ( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ ) S R′( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ ) S ( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ ) S S′( ∣ ∣, ∣ ∣ )
2. Circle the transformation of (x, y) that follows the same pattern as the change in coordinates from Q to Q′, R to R′, and S to S′.
(x, y) S ( - y, x)
(x, y) S ( - x, - y)
(x, y) S (y, - x)
3. Refer to the table at the top of the page. Describe the rotation that maps △QRS to △Q′R′S′.
