Education
ITBS/ITED
Standard 1: Understands the nature of scientific inquiry
MC/GF
CE
GE
Knows that scientific explanations must meet certain
criteria; they must be consistent with experimental and
observational evidence about nature; and they must
include a logical structure, rules of evidence, openness
to criticism, reporting methods and procedures, and a
commitment to making knowledge public
Knows that because all scientific ideas depend on
experimental and observational confirmation, all
scientific knowledge is, in principle, subject to change
as new evidence becomes available; in areas where
data, information, or understanding is incomplete, it is
normal for scientific ideas to be incomplete
Knows that in science, the testing, revising, and
occasional discarding of theories, new and old, never
ends; this ongoing process leads to an increasingly
better understanding of how things work in the world,
but not to absolute truth
Knows that hypotheses are widely used in science for
choosing what data to pay attention to and what
additional data to seek, and for guiding the
interpretation of the data (both new and previously
available)
Formulates a testable hypothesis
Designs and conducts scientific investigations by
identifying and clarifying the questions, method,
controls and variables; organizing and displaying data;
revising methods and explanation; presenting the
results; and receiving critical response from others

Knows that results of scientific inquiry--new
knowledge and methods--emerge from different types
of investigations and public communication among
scientists; the nature of communicating and defending
the results of scientific inquiry is guided by criteria of
being logical and empirical and by connections
between natural phenomena, investigations, and the
historical body of scientific knowledge
Knows that progress in science and technology can
relate to social issues and challenges
Standard 2: Understands features and processes of the Earth/universe
NOT APPLICABLE
Standard 3: Understands diversity and unity that characterize life
NOT APPLICABLE
Standard 4: Understands basic concepts about the structure and properties of matter
MC/GF CE
GE
Knows that an element is composed of single type of
atom; when elements are listed in order according to the
number of protons (called the atomic number); repeating
patterns of physical and chemical properties
Knows the general structure and functions of cells in
organisms
Knows that concentrated mixtures of thousands of
different molecules within a cell form a variety of
specialized structures
Knows the structure and function of organic molecules in
living organisms--proteins, carbohydrates, fats and DNA
Knows that atoms interact with one another by
transferring or sharing electrons that are furthest from
the nucleus; these outer electrons govern the chemical
properties of the element
Knows that atoms may be bonded together into
molecules when two or more kinds of atoms bind
together chemically, a compound is formed
Knows that the number of electrons usually will equal

the number of protons, and the neutron has no electric
charge, so the atom, overall, is electrically neutral
Knows the catalysts, such as metal surfaces, accelerate
chemical reactions
Knows that a large number of important organic
reactions involve the sharing of electrons to form new
molecules
Standard 5: Understands energy, motion and forces
MC/GF
CE
GE
Knows that some changes of atomic or molecular
configuration require an input or energy, whereas
others release energy
Knows that materials contain almost exactly equal
proportions of positive and negative charges,
making the materials as a whole electrically neutral
Knows that at the atomic level, electric forces
between oppositely charged electrons and protons
hold atoms and molecules together and thus are
involved in all chemical reactions
Standard 6: Understands the relationships of science, technology, and social
perspectives
NOT APPLICABLE
