- Life Science
- Populations and ecosystems
- For ecosystems, the major source of energy is sunlight.
- Energy passes from organism to organism in food webs
- Healthy ecosystems ensure a healthy biosphere by regulating the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients.
- Science as Inquiry
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Ask a question about objects, organisms, and events in the environment.
- Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
- Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence.
- Science and Technology
- Understanding about science and technology
- People have always had questions about their world. Science is one way of answering questions and explaining the natural world.
- Science and technology are reciprocal.
- Science helps drive technology, as it addresses questions that demand more sophisticated instruments and provides principles for better instrumentation and technique.
- Technology is essential to science, because it provides instruments and techniques that enable observations of objects and phenomena that are otherwise unobservable due to factors such as quantity, distance, location, size, and speed.
- Process Standards for Professional Development
- Research-Based
- Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning. (NSES)
- Design
- Introduce teachers to scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge. (NSES)
- Learning
- Incorporate ongoing reflection on the process and outcomes of understanding science through inquiry. (NSES)
