Cell Homeostasis: Osmosis
The focus of this resource is cell homeostasis and, more specifically, osmosis. Students investigate the concept through a virtual lab, recording and analyzing data, creating sketches to represent vocabulary, and discovering the role of aquaporins in water transport through the cell membrane.
Converting Between Measurement Systems
Given a real-world situation with measurements in either metric/SI or customary units, the student will solve a problem requiring them to convert from one system to the other.
Protein Synthesis
The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.
Cell Comparisons
Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.
Monohybrid and Dihybrid Crosses
Learners calculate the probability of genotypic inheritance and phenotypic expression using mono- and dihybrid crosses.
Mechanisms of Evolution Beyond Natural Selection
Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.
Evidence for Evolution
Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.
Plant, Parts, and Function
Students use prior knowledge of body systems as they make connections to systems in plants. Students learn that some plant systems have similar functions as the respective animal systems. The lesson highlights the following systems in plants: root system, shoot system, vascular system, and reproductive system.
Determining Slopes from Equations, Graphs, and Tables
Given algebraic, tabular, and graphical representations of linear functions, the student will determine the slope of the relationship from each of the representations.
Using Geometric Concepts and Properties to Solve Problems
Given pictorial representations, the student will use geometric concepts and properties to solve problems from art and architecture.
Using Proportional Relations to Find Missing Measurements of Two-Dimensional Figures
Given pictorial representations and problem situations of 2-dimensional figures or 3-dimensional figures, the student will use proportional reasoning to find a missing measurement.
Using Rational Numbers to Solve Problems
Given a problem situation in verbal form, students will select and use an operation involving rational numbers in order to solve the problem.
Selecting and Using Appropriate Forms of Rational Numbers
Given real-life problems, the student will select an appropriate method and solve problems involving proportional relationships.
Exploring Probability with Dependent Events
The student will investigate and develop the concept of dependent probability, including formalizing procedures related to dependent probability and applications of dependent probability.
Finding Lateral and Total Surface Area
Given concrete models and nets (2-dimensional models) of prisms, pyramids, and cylinders, the student will find and determine the lateral and total surface area.
Estimating and Finding Solutions to Problems Involving Similarity and Rates
Given application problems involving similarity and rates, the student will estimate and determine the solutions to the problems.
Generating Similar Figures Using Dilations
Given a figure, the student will identify the scale factor used for a dilation, and use a dilation by a scale factor, including enlargements and reductions, to generate similar figures.
4 OnTRACK Grade 7 Math: Number and Operations
Students will learn how to apply mathematical process standards to represent and use real numbers in a variety of forms.
19 OnTRACK Grade 7 Math: Proportionality
Students will learn to use proportional relationships to describe dilations; to explain proportional and non-proportional relationships involving slope; and to use proportional and non-proportional relationships to develop foundational concepts of functions.
7 OnTRACK Grade 7 Math: Expressions, Equations, and Relationships
Students will learn to develop mathematical relationships and make connections to geometric formulas; use geometry to solve problems; use one-variable equations or inequalities in problem situations; and use multiple representations to develop foundational concepts of simultaneous linear equations.
