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.
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.
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—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.
Scientific Notation
Given quantitative data students will express and manipulate chemical quantities using scientific notation.
Dimensional Analysis
Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using dimensional analysis.
Cell Specialization and Differentiation
Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.
Significant Figures
Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using the correct number of significant figures.
Scientific Reasoning
Given information extracted from current events, news reports, journal articles, marketing, or promotional materials, students will evaluate the claims for validity.
