Motion in One Dimension
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will analyze motion in one dimension.
Analyzing Two-Dimensional Motion
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will analyze motion in two dimensions, including projectile and circular motion.
Electric and Magnetic Forces
Given diagrams, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify examples of electric and magnetic forces.
Types of Motion
Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
Developing the Concept of Slope
Given multiple representations of linear functions, the student will develop the concept of slope as a rate of change.
Generating Different Representations of Relationships
Given problems that include data, the student will generate different representations, such as a table, graph, equation, or verbal description.
Comparing and Contrasting Proportional and Non-Proportional Linear Relationships
Given problem solving situations, the student will solve the problems by comparing and contrasting proportional and non-proportional linear relationships.
Disruptions of the Cell Cycle: Cancer
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will identify disruptions of the cell cycle that lead to diseases such as cancer.
Virus: Structure
Given illustrations, students will distinguish between viral structure and cellular structure.
Virus: Reproduction
Given descriptions and illustrations students will identify and describe the methods of viral reproduction.
Virus: Disease
Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify major diseases caused by viruses, how viruses cause these diseases, and how the body responds to infection.
Approximating the Value of Irrational Numbers
Given problem situations that include pictorial representations of irrational numbers, the student will find the approximate value of the irrational numbers.
Expressing Numbers in Scientific Notation
Given problem situations, the student will express numbers in scientific notation.
Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers
Given a problem situation, the student will compare and order integers, percents, positive and negative fractions and decimals with or without a calculator.
Taxonomy Standards
Given examples, students will recognize the importance of taxonomy to the scientific community.
Taxonomy: Major Groups
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.
Enzymes
Given illustrations or scenarios, the student will identify an enzyme and the outcome of its action.
Animal System Interactions
Given illustrations, descriptions, or scenarios, students will describe the interactions that occur among systems in humans.
Mechanisms of Genetics: Protein Synthesis
Given illustrations or partial DNA or mRNA sequences, students will identify the processes and purposes of transcription and translation.
Abiotic Cycles
Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will describe the flow of matter through carbon and nitrogen cycles and describe the consequences of disrupting these cycles.
