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.
Scientific Models
Given a description or illustration of various models, students will describe how these models represent the natural world and evaluate the advantages and limitations of the models.
Newton's Law of Inertia
This resource provides instructional resources for Newton's First Law, the law of inertia.
Conservation of Momentum
This resource was created to support TEKS IPC(4)(E).
Newton's Law of Action-Reaction
This resource is to support TEKS (8)(6)(C), specifically the Newton's third law or the law of action-reaction.
Classification of Organisms
This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning opportunities for students to identify the characteristics of organisms that classify them into currently recognized Kingdoms, Sixth Grade Science TEKS (6)(12)(D).
Energy Transformations
A Tier I resource for TEKS (6)(9)(C), energy transformations.
Cell Processes: Photosynthesis
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where the reaction of photosynthesis take place and the process and results of photosynthesis.
Cell Processes: Respiration
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where the reaction of respiration take place and the process and results of respiration.
Conservation of Resources
Given choices of natural resources and lab materials, students will select disposal and recycling methods that best conserve and protect our resources
Equipment for Biology
Given investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.
Homeostasis: Microorganisms
Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will identify the roles of microorganisms in the health of organisms and ecosystems.
Homeostasis—Succession
Given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, the student will identify the process of ecological succession and the impact that succession has on populations and species diversity.
Genetic Mutations
This resource uses video, animation, text, and web-based interactives to help students identify changes in DNA and evaluate the effects of those changes.
Internal Feedback Mechanisms
This resource utilizes videos, investigations, and interactives to help students understand and describe the role of internal feedback mechanisms.
