Develop and use models to illustrate the structure of atoms, including the subatomic particles with their relative positions and charge
Classify materials as pure substances and compounds based on composition
Create compounds and learn about their atomic composition
BIO-BASICS: A CELL-ABRATION!
Develop and construct models that identify and explain the structure and function of major cell organelles
Model passive transport and the maintenance of homeostasis within the cell during the process
Develop an understanding of the creation of identical daughter cells through mitosis
BIODIVERSITY AND ADAPTATION
Explore how changes in biodiversity would impact ecosystem stability and natural resources
Evaluate the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on a biome.
Analyze and interpret data for patterns in fossils that can tell about their lives
ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS
Analyze the properties and compare sources of kinetic, elastic potential, gravitational potential, chemical, and thermal energy
Conduct an investigation to demonstrate the way that heat (thermal energy) moves among objects through radiation, conduction, or convection
Design and conduct an investigation depicting the relationship between magnetism and electricity in generators and motors
FORCES OF PHYSICS
Investigate the relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects
Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity, inertia, and friction
Analyze and investigate Newton’s law
THE MYSTERY OF ELECTROMAGNETS
Design and conduct investigations depicting the relationship between magnetism and electricity in electromagnets
Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact
Design and conduct an investigation to show the Earth’s magnetic field
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Plan and carry out an investigation to compare how well yeast produces ethanol when mixed with different feedstock
Measure and observe evidence of chemical changes associated with fermentation
Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in anaerobic conditions
This lesson is funded by a generous grant from the Center for BioEnergy Innovation and will come to your school at no cost.
SYSTEMS ON EARTH
Investigate convection patterns that flow due to uneven heating of the earth
Construct an explanation for how atmospheric flow, geographic features, and ocean currents affect the climate of a region through heat transfer
Evaluate the relationships between the movement and interactions of air masses, high and low-pressure systems, and frontal boundaries resulting in weather conditions and severe storms
TOTALLY TECTONIC
Explain the relationship between the processes and forces that create igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks
Demonstrate the changes within the lithosphere including plate movements, plate boundaries, and sea-floor spreading
Evaluate and explain mineral's effects on crystalline structures and formation
Evaluate and predict dominant and recessive alleles from parents to offspring
Demonstrate and explain photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and anaerobic respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms
Develop an argument to explain how behavioral and structural adaptations in animals and plants affect the probability of survival and reproductive success
