Making Solutions

Given graphs, scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will determine how different processes affect solubility in aqueous solutions.
Precipitation Reactions

Given graphs, scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will determine how different processes affect solubility in aqueous solutions.
Electric and Magnetic Forces

Given diagrams, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify examples of electric and magnetic forces.
Types of Motion

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
Types of Science Investigations

Students will distinguish between descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations.
Experimental Design

Given investigation scenarios and lab procedures, students will identify independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and control groups.
Disruptions of the Cell Cycle: Cancer

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

Given laboratory investigation scenarios, students will determine the question or purpose of the procedure.
Hypothesis

Given a series of statements, students will determine if statements are testable hypotheses and determine the hypothesis that best fits a given procedure.
Theories

Given laboratory investigation scenarios, students will distinguish between scientific hypotheses and scientific theories.
Data Organization

Given field and laboratory scenarios and laboratory data, students will construct data tables and graphs, using repeated trials and means to organize data.
Data Analysis

Given laboratory investigation data in the form of tables, charts, and graphs, students will analyze and predict trends from the data.
Conclusions and Scientific Explanations

Given laboratory investigation data, students will determine the best conclusion based upon that data.
Measurement

Given investigation quantitative data, students will determine its degree of precision and/or accuracy and causes for uncertainties in measured data.
