Specific Objectives |
|
Scientific Inquiry and Experimental Design |
BIO 1: The student will develop
abilities necessary to do and understand scientific inquiry
and experimental design. |
1.1
Use and apply appropriate
scientific terminology.
1.2
Identify biological questions
and problems that can be answered through scientific
investigations
1.3
Design and conduct scientific
investigations to answer biological questions
1.4
Research and evaluate
scientific explanations of natural phenomena using logic and
evidence
1.5
Apply safety procedures in
the laboratory and field studies |
|
Cellular
Basis of Life |
BIO 2: The student will develop an
understanding of the cellular basis of life. |
2.1
Explain how cell functions
involve chemical reactions that rely on enzyme action.
2.2
Compare and contrast the
structure and function of organic molecules
2.3
Analyze the cell as a living
system
2.4
Investigate and describe the
structure of cells: bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and
animals |
|
Common
Genetic Code |
BIO 3: The student will develop an
understanding of how biological traits are passed on to
successive generations.
|
3.1
Analyze the molecular basis
of heredity including:
·
DNA replication
·
Protein synthesis
·
Gene regulation
3.2
Explain the influence of
crossing over to genetic diversity.
3.3
Interpret and predict
patterns of inheritance.
3.4
Evaluate the use of genetic
research and technologies. |
|
Continuity of Life |
BIO 4: The student will develop an
understanding of the continuity of life. |
4.1
Analyze the necessity of
reproduction at the species level.
4.2
Compare the advantages of
sexual and asexual reproduction in different organisms and
situations.
4.3
Explain the limits to cell
growth.
4.4
Interpret the regulation of
cell growth and the potential results of regulation failure.
4.5
Compare and contrast the
types of cell division—mitotic and meiosis—and the purpose
of each. |
|
Interdependence of Life |
BIO 5: The student will develop an
understanding of the unity, interdependence, and diversity
of living organisms. |
5.1
Explain how living organisms
require a continuous input of energy to maintain their
chemical and physical organizations.
5.2
Compare and contrast the
complexity and organization of living organisms.
5.3
Explain how the complexity of
a living organism accommodates the need for obtaining,
transforming, transporting, releasing, and eliminating the
matter and energy used to sustain the organism.
5.4
Analyze the classification of
organisms according to their evolutionary relationships.
5.5
Analyze the flow of energy in
ecosystems. |
|
Evolution |
BIO 6: The student will develop an
understanding of natural selection and its role in the
diversity of life. |
6.1
Examine the development of
the theory of evolution by natural selection.
6.2
Describe how evolution is a
gradual process that leads to similar characteristics among
related organism.
6.3
Compare and contrast
successful organisms in how each is well adapted for the
habitat in which it lives. |
|
Form and
Function |
BIO 7: The student will develop an
understanding of the relationship of structure and function.
|
7.1
Explain the role of cell
organelles for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
including:
·
Transport of materials
·
Maintaining homeostasis
·
Energy use and release in
biochemical reactions
·
Communication among cells
7.2
Explain how the complexity of
a living organism accommodates the need for obtaining,
transforming, transporting, releasing, and eliminating the
matter and energy used to sustain the organism.
7.3
Analyze the processes by
which organisms accomplish essential life functions.
7.4
Compare and contrast how
structures and functions vary among the six kingdoms of
life.
7.5
Explain the adaptations
affecting survival and reproductive success of the six
kingdoms of life. |
