I can describe different cellular processes and how they
are important for homeostasis (balance) of all organisms.
I can describe what homeostasis is and the processes
necessary to maintain it (e.g., cellular transport
(movement) of materials and synthesis (production) of
new materials)
I can explain the ways a cell multiplies.
I can explain how certain cells have specific functions
and how these cells work together.
I can explain how DNA provide instructions for life.
I can explain what genes are and how they make up
different characteristics in organisms.
I can describe what a mutation is and how it can cause
genetic changes. (variations)
I can compare the difference between mutations in a
body cell and mutations in a sex cell.

I can describe how genetic traits can be passed on to
future generations.
I can describe how different genetic inheritance
principles can cause changes in future generations.
(e.g., sex-linked, crossing over, independent assortment,
segregation, dominant/recessive, jumping genes)

I can describe how matter and energy moves through the
levels of a food webs and energy pyramids.
I can describe how matter and energy moves between
living systems and the environment.
I can explain how different cells create and release
energy (e.g., photosynthesis, cellular respiration,
fermentation, chemosynthesis.)
I can explain how living organisms make a variety of
materials for life. (e.g., proteins, carbohydrates, lipids,
nucleic acids)
I can describe how organisms are classified based on
similarities and differences in genetics and structure.
I can explain how variations within species can increase
the chances of survival of some individuals of the species
in a changing environment.
I can explain how a variety of an organisms structures
and functions allows them to adapt for survival.
I can explain how living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)
components of an environment interact.
I can describe how populations are limited based on
resources and space.
I can explain how the balance of an ecosystem can
change when climate changes or species move into or out
of the system.
I can give examples of human activities that can change
and ecosystems balance.
I can illustrate how the uses of resources at all levels of
society affects the quality of life.
I can describe that biological evolution is a result in
changes of the genetic make up (gene frequency) in a
population.
I can explain the process of natural selection. (Survival of
the Fittest)
I can explain the historical contributions that have led to
the development of the modern theory of evolution.

I can explain how evolutionary mechanisms can create a
new species or change in species. ( e.g., genetic drift,
immigration, emigration, mutation)

as a simple one-celled organism than evolved into
complex-multiple cellular organisms.
I can explain how new ideas are limited or rejected by
society.
I can describe advances in life science and how these
advances improved society.
I can describe the controversy of genetic, stem research
and cloning.

I can describe and give examples of how scientific
inquiry is driven by a desire to understand the natural
world.
I can describe and give examples of how technology is
driven by the need to meet human needs and solve human
problems.
I can describe examples of scientific advances and
emerging technologies and how they may impact society.
I can explain the many aspects of a device or process that
should be evaluated when studying the design.
I can explain how costs associated with the
considerations of design introduce additional constraints
on the design.
