Writing and science connections

Writing and science connections

1. Chemistry

   • 8.A.1. Provide evidence to explain how compounds are produced.
     • This shows how smaller things can be built up to make something much larger.
       • similar to how elements make up compounds, stories are built off of small ideas to make up something new in the end

2. biology

   • 8.D.1. Change Over Time: Recognize and describe that evolutionary change in species over time occurs as a result of genetic variation in organisms and environmental changes.
     • this the show advancements over time with organisms and writing.
       • over the time people have went from writing things as records and laws, to recording fictional stories like today because the more social acceptance to ideas.

3. Earth Science

   • 8.b. 1 Leaving a record: Explain how a sedimentary rock is formed(embedding plant and animal remains and leaving a record of the sequence in which plants and animals disappeared)
     • This shows the viewing over along period of time.
       • similar to fossils we can use past written documents to look at signifgiant changes through history.

4. Environmental issues

   • 8.B.1 Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate or magnifiy many naturally occurring changes.
     • How activities make a change over time.
       • Writing has allowed many great ideas to be show and surface from over the years

5. Astronomy

   • 8.D.2 Regular and predictable motion: Identify and explain celestial phenomene using the regular and predictable motion of an object in the solar system
     • This is another example of the viewing of change and how we can record it.
       • Writers can record on different phenomena from looking at patterns including that of our solar system.

6. Physics

   • 8.A.2. Identify and relate formal ideas (Newton’s Laws) about the interaction of force and motion to real world experiences.
     • This shows guidelines given to understand a concept.
       • some authors may have rules or guidelines to how they’re story is structured like how Newton had laws on how physics works and how it’s structured.

7. Thermodynamics

   • 8.B.2. Identify and explain that heat energy is a product of the conversion of one form of energy to another.
     • THis shows how one thing can be rooted to another thing.
       • Ideas that writers may have rooted from one thing to form another idea or story similar to different energy.
