• Life Science
  • Biological evolution
    • Species evolve over time. (9-12)
    • Evolution is the consequence of the interactions of the potential for a species to increase its numbers. (9-12)
    • Evolution is the consequence of the interactions of the genetic variability of offspring due to mutation and recombination of genes. (9-12)
    • Evolution is the consequence of the interactions of a finite supply of the resources required for life. (9-12)
    • Evolution is the consequence of the interactions of the ensuing selection by the environment of those offspring better able to survive and leave offspring. (9-12)
    • The great diversity of organisms is the result of more than 3.5 billion years of evolution that has filled every available niche with life forms. (9-12)
    • Natural selection and its evolutionary consequences provide a scientific explanation for the fossil record of ancient life forms, as well as for the striking molecular similarities observed among the diverse species of living organisms. (9-12)
    • The millions of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms that live on earth today are related by descent from common ancestors. (9-12)

• Science as Inquiry
  • Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
    • Ask a question about objects, organisms, and events in the environment.
    • Communicate investigations and explanations.
    • Identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations.
    • Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence.
    • Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations.
    • Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications. (9-12)
    • Formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence. (9-12)
