Mechanisms of Genetics: DNA Changes
Given illustrations or partial DNA sequences, students will identify changes in DNA and the significance of these changes.
Taxonomy Standards
Given examples, students will recognize the importance of taxonomy to the scientific community.
Taxonomy: Major Groups
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.
Homeostasis: Ecological Systems
Given images, videos, or scenarios, identify and describe the responses of organisms, populations, and communities to various changes in their external environment.
Biological Systems: Homeostasis
Identify and describe internal feedback mechanisms involved in maintaining homeostasis given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions.
Relationships Between Organisms: Food Chains, Webs, and Pyramids
Given illustrations, students will analyze the flow of matter and energy in food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids.
Organisms' Adaptations
Given scenarios, illustrations. or descriptions, the student will compare variations and adaptations of organisms in different ecosystems.
Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions
Given the graph of a situation represented by a quadratic function, the student will analyze the graph and draw conclusions.
Conservation of Momentum
This resource was created to support TEKS IPC(4)(E).
Equipment for Biology
Given investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.
Writing Expressions to Model Patterns (Table/Pictorial → Symbolic)
Given a pictorial or tabular representation of a pattern and the value of several of their terms, the student will write a formula for the nth term of a sequences.
Analyzing the Effects of the Changes in m and b on the Graph of y = mx + b
Given algebraic, graphical, or verbal representations of linear functions, the student will determine the effects on the graph of the parent function f(x) = x.
Writing Equations of Lines
Given two points, the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, the student will write linear equations in two variables.
Determining the Domain and Range for Linear Functions
Given a real-world situation that can be modeled by a linear function or a graph of a linear function, the student will determine and represent the reasonable domain and range of the linear function using inequalities.
Investigating Methods for Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities
Given linear equations and inequalities, the student will investigate methods for solving the equations or inequalities.
Selecting a Method to Solve Equations or Inequalities
Given an equation or inequality, the student will select a method (algebraically, graphically, or calculator) to solve the equation or inequality.
Determining Intercepts and Zeros of Linear Functions
Given algebraic, tabular, or graphical representations of linear functions, the student will determine the intercepts of the graphs and the zeros of the function.
Solving Systems of Equations with Graphs
Given verbal and/or algebraic descriptions of situations involving systems of linear equations, the student will solve the system of equations using graphs.
