The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

Learners calculate the probability of genotypic inheritance and phenotypic expression using mono- and dihybrid crosses.

Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.

Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

Learners compare changes in matter that take place during energy conversion processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Learners analyze food chains, webs, and pyramids to determine how energy flows and matter cycles through ecosystems.

Learners investigate the role of enzymes at the molecular level as well as through “real-world” applications.

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.

Given diagrams, scenarios, or illustrations, students will identify the characteristics of the Doppler effect.

Given diagrams, scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify uses of waves in medical and industrial applications.

This resource uses video, animation, text, and web-based interactives to help students identify changes in DNA and evaluate the effects of those changes. 

This resource utilizes videos, investigations, and interactives to help students understand and describe the role of internal feedback mechanisms.

This resource provides instructional resources for Newton's First Law, the law of inertia.

This resource is to support TEKS (8)(6)(C), specifically the Newton's third law or the law of action-reaction.

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