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

This resources is appropriate for Tier I instruction for the scientific concept of work.

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.

This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.

This resource can be used, in conjunction with best practices, for Tier I classroom instruction.

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.

A resource to be used for Tier I instruction for the introduction of the structure of atoms.

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

Given quantitative data, students will express and manipulate quantities using the correct number of significant figures.

Given information extracted from current events, news reports, journal articles, marketing, or promotional materials, students will evaluate the claims for validity.

Students will understand Bohr’s experimental design and conclusions that lead to the development of his model of the atom, as well as the limitations of his model.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will predict the shape of molecules based upon the extent of the electron pair electrostatic repulsion.

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.

Given descriptors, diagrams, and chemical symbols, students will use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration of neutral atoms.

Given descriptions, diagrams, or scenarios, students will write and name the chemical formulas of binary covalent compounds.
