Life Science Standards Tracking Goal Progress Toward Goal Standard SYSA SYSB SYSC SYSD SYSE SYSF Identify Systems: Identify subsystems and larger, encompassing systems. System Boundaries: Explain the boundaries of and changes in a system. System Inputs/Outputs: Describe how the output of one system can become the input of another. Open vs. Closed Systems: Analyze and defend whether a system is open or closed. Energy Flow in Systems: Measure the flow of matter/energy into and out of open systems. Predict how the system is likely to change. Changes in Systems: Describe how science and technology impact systems and how changes in one part of the system affect other parts. INQA Questioning: Generate a question that can be answered scientifically. INQB Planning and Conducting Investigations: Generate a logical plan for, and conduct, a scientific controlled investigation including how to write a prediction and give reasons. AND Describe a plan to answer a given question for a field study including the method for collecting data (control), conditions to be compared (independent variable), data to be collected and recorded (dependent variable) INQC INQD INQE INQF INQG INQH INQI APPA APPB APPC APPD APPE APPF APPG APPH Results: Analyze and communicate results using pictures, tables, charts, diagrams. Recognize and interpret patterns. Use statistical procedures to analyze data. Variables: Identify the controlled, manipulated (independent), and responding (dependent) variables. Explain how uncontrolled variable could affect results. Modeling: Create a model or simulation to represent behavior of objects, explore the relationship between 2 variables and compare/contrast the model with the actual phenomenon. Explaining: Write a conclusion and describe the differences between observations and inferences. Communicate: Write a report including: the investigative question, a summary of the procedure, evidence to accept or reject the hypothesis, an explanation of the relationship between variables and a description of the limitations. Intellectual Honesty: Recognize flaws in scientific claims, listen actively and respectfully to students’ research reports, critique presentations fairly, and engage in self-reflection and evaluation. Ethics: Demonstrate ethical concerns and precautions when working with animals, natural ecosystems, and human subjects. Technology Changes: Describe how a technology has changed over time due to societal changes. Technology Professions: Investigate several professions in which an understanding of science and technology is required. Explain why understanding is necessary for success in that profession. Science and Technology: Give examples of how science has contributed to developing technology/solving human problems. Define Problems: Define a problem that can be solved with technology, research how others have solved the problem, brainstorm different solutions. Collaborate: Work with other students to generate solutions to a problem. Apply methods for making trade-offs to chose the best solution. Test Solutions: Test solutions by building models. Redesign. Present findings. Technology Around the World: Compare and contrast the use of technology in industrialized and developing countries. Technological Contributions: Describe scientific and technological contributions to society made by people in various cultures. Life Science Standards Tracking Goal Progress Toward Goal Standard LS3E Cells: Identify that all organisms are composed of at least one cell and describe the functions of cells (division, nutrients, energy use, release waste, produce materials) Single-Celled Organisms: Identify the function of cell parts (nucleus, cell membrane, etc.) in single-celled organisms. Cells, Tissues, Organs: Describe how the structure of specialized cells relates to the function of the cell. Explain the relationship between tissues, organs and systems. Describe the functions of human body systems. Plant and Animal Cells: Describe the functions of plant and animal cell organelles. Compare/contrast plant and animal cells. Classification: Use a classification key to identify organisms based on internal and external structures as well as behaviors. Health: Evaluate how lifestyle choices and environments affect parts of the human body and the organism as a whole. Ecosystems: Define and describe ecosystems including boundaries and contents. Food Webs: Analyze the flow of energy in an ecosystem. Show the relationships among all of the ecosystems organisms. Photosynthesis and Respiration: Explain how the Sun’s energy is transformed into chemical energy by plants during photosynthesis and how chemical energy is converted into other forms of energy during respiration. Compare/contrast producers and consumers. Changes in Ecosystems: Predict what may happen to an ecosystem if nonliving factors change or if one or more populations are removed from or added to the ecosystem. Environmental Issues: Investigate environmental issues by defining the problem, researching possible causes, understanding the underlying science and evaluating risks and benefits of possible solutions. Identify resource uses that reduce the capacity of ecosystems to support various populations. Evidence of Evolution: Explain and provide evidence of how biological evolution accounts for the diversity of species on Earth today. DNA/Genes: Explain that information on how cells are to grow and function is contained in genes in the chromosomes of each cell nucleus. Describe how during reproduction genes are passed from parent cells to offspring. Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction: Identify sexually and asexually reproducing plants and animals. Explain why offspring resulting from sexual reproduction are likely to have more diverse characteristics than offspring from asexual reproduction. Genetics: Describe that in sexual reproduction the offspring receives half of their genetic information from each parent and gets all of their genetic information from only a single parent in asexual reproduction. Predict outcomes of various genetic crosses. Explain the survival value of genetic variation. Adaptations: Give an example of a plant or animal adaptation that would give the organism a survival advantage in an environmental change. LS3F Changes in Ecosystems: Given an ecosystem, predict which organisms are most likely to disappear from that environment when the environment changes. LS3G Relatedness of Species: Identify how related two organisms are based on anatomical and/or genetic features of the two species.
