The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.

Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

Learners compare changes in matter that take place during energy conversion processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Learners analyze food chains, webs, and pyramids to determine how energy flows and matter cycles through ecosystems.

Learners investigate the role of enzymes at the molecular level as well as through “real-world” applications.

Learners explore and describe how succession affects biodiversity by creating an island ecosystem in an interactive game.

Biology Kid2Kid videos present biology concepts taught to a student by a student. This resource contains videos that explain monohybrid crosses in both English and Spanish.

The focus of this resource is cell homeostasis and, more specifically, osmosis. Students investigate the concept through a virtual lab, recording and analyzing data, creating sketches to represent vocabulary, and discovering the role of aquaporins in water transport through the cell membrane.

This resource uses video, animation, text, and web-based interactives to help students identify changes in DNA and evaluate the effects of those changes. 

This resource utilizes videos, investigations, and interactives to help students understand and describe the role of internal feedback mechanisms.

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.

Given scenarios, illustrations or descriptions, the student will describe how long-term survival of species is dependent on changing resource bases that are limited.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where the reaction of photosynthesis take place and the process and results of photosynthesis.

Given investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where fermentation occurs and the results of fermentation.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will identify disruptions of the cell cycle that lead to diseases such as cancer.

Given illustrations, students will distinguish between viral structure and cellular structure.
