Disease Agents Unit Assessment
Summative multiple choice assessment for the 8th grade Disease Agents unit. Covers the four major categories of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites), their structures, how they reproduce and spread, treatment with antibiotics and antivirals, antibiotic resistance as an example of natural selection, biotechnology applications such as synthetic insulin production, vaccines and prevention, and the distinction between an epidemic and a pandemic. Aligned to NC DPI 8th grade Essential Standards 8.L.1.1, 8.L.1.2, 8.L.2.1, and 8.L.4.2.
Eukaryotic Cell Biology — Assessment
A 25-question assessment for grades 6-8 covering eukaryotic cell biology: organelle structure and function, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and the differences between plant and animal cells. Twenty multiple-choice items and five matching items. Difficulty is calibrated easy-to-moderate. All questions are text-only proof of knowledge items.
S8 - Q4 - Unit 2 Introduction: Disease Agents
A 30-minute introduction to disease agents for 8th grade. Students classify the major types of pathogens, explain how diseases are transmitted, distinguish between epidemic and pandemic disease, and connect human health to environmental factors.
S6 - Q4 - Unit 2 Introduction: Ecosystems
A 30-minute introduction to ecosystems for 6th grade. Students distinguish biotic and abiotic factors, trace energy flow through food chains and webs, and identify the major types of ecological relationships.
The Body's Organ Tour
A 45-minute introductory tour of the major organs of the human body for 7th grade. Students learn the body's levels of organization, the one main function of each major organ across six systems, and the most common disease or malfunction of each, framed through structure and function.
S7 - Q4 - Unit 2 Introduction: Energy
A 30-minute introduction to energy for 7th grade. Students define kinetic and potential energy, calculate mechanical energy, identify forms of energy, and explain how energy transforms from one form to another while the total amount remains constant.
