| Biology |
|
Algebra I |
|
|
BIO.1 b: Hypotheses are formulated based
on direct observations and information from scientific
literature.
|
|
A4: The student will use matrices to
organize and manipulate data, including matrix addition,
subtraction, and scalar multiplication. Data will arise
from business, industrial, and consumer situations.
|
|
|
BIO.1 c: Variables are defined and investigations
are designed to test hypotheses.
|
|
Geometry |
|
|
BIO.1 l: Alternative scientific explanations
and models are recognized and analyzed.
|
|
G.12: The student will make a model
of a three-dimensional figure from a two-dimensional drawing
and make a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional
object. Models and representations will include scale
drawings, perspective drawings, blueprints, or computer
simulations.
|
|
|
BIO.3 d: Capture, storage, transformation,
and flow of energy through the processes of photosynthesis
and respiration.
|
|
G.13: The student will use formulas
for surface area and volume of three-dimensional objects
to solve practical problems. Calculators will be used
to find decimal approximations for results.
|
|
|
BIO.9 c: Succession patterns
in ecosystems.
|
|
|
|
|
BIO.9 d: Effects of natural events and
human activities on ecosystems.
|
|
|
|
| Chemistry |
|
|
|
|
CH.2 c: Mass and charge characteristics
of subatomic particles.
|
|
|
|
|
CH.2 g: Electron configurations, valence
electrons, and oxidation numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
CH.2 i: Historical and quantum models.
|
|
|
|
|
CH.3 d: Bonding types (ionic and covalent).
|
|
|
|
|
CH.3 e: Reaction types (synthesis, decomposition,
single and double replacement, oxidation-reduction, neutralization,
exothermic, and endothermic).
|
|
|
|
|
CH.3 f: Reaction rates and kinetics
(activation energy, catalysis, and degree of randomness).
|
|
|
|
| Earth Science |
|
|
|
|
ES.1 b: Technologies including computers,
probeware, and global positioning systems (GPS), are used
to collect, analyze, and report data and to demonstrate
concepts and simulate experimental conditions.
|
|
|
|
|
ES.1 c: Scales, diagrams, maps, charts,
graphs, tables, and profiles are constructed and interpreted.
|
|
|
|
|
ES.2 b: Recognizing that evidence is
required to evaluate hypotheses and explanations.
|
|
|
|
|
ES.11 c: Systems interactions (density
differences, energy transfer, weather, and climate).
|
|
|
|
| Life Science |
|
|
|
|
LS.1 g: Variables are controlled to
test hypotheses, and trials are repeated.
|
|
|
|
|
LS.1 h: Continuous line graphs are constructed,
interpreted, and used to make predictions.
|
|
|
|
|
LS.7 d: Energy flow in food webs and
energy pyramids.
|
|
|
|
|
LS.12 e: Environmental issues (water
supply, air quality, energy production, and waste management).
|
|
|
|
| Physics |
|
|
|
|
PH.1 b: Instruments are selected and
used to extend observations and measurements of mass,
volume, temperature, heat exchange, energy transformations,
motion, fields, and electric charge.
|
|
|
|
|
PH.14 c: Matter/energy equivalence.
|
|
|
|
| Physical Science |
|

PS.2 a: Particle theory of matter.
|
|
|
|
|
PS.2 c: Solids, liquids, and gases.
|
|
|
|
|
PS.2 e: Physical properties (shape,
density, solubility, odor, melting point, boiling point,
color).
|
|
|
|
|
PS.2 f: Chemical properties (acidity,
basicity, combustibility, reactivity).
|
|
|
|
|
PS.4 c: Simple compounds (formulas and
the nature of bonding).
|
|
|
|
|
PS.5 c: Chemical changes (types of reactions,
reactants, and products; and balanced equations).
