National Standards Correlation

[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Life Science
- Reproduction and heredity
- A human cell contains many thousands of different genes.
- Each gene carries a single unit of information.
- Diversity and adaptations of organisms
- Millions of species of animals, plants, and microorganisms are alive today.
- Species acquire many of their unique characteristics through biological adaptation, which involves the selection of naturally occurring variations in populations.
- Biological adaptations include changes in structures, behaviors, or physiology that enhance survival and reproductive success in a particular environment
- The cell
- Cells have particular structures that underlie their functions. (9-12)
- The genetic information stored in DNA is used to direct the synthesis of the thousands of proteins that each cell requires. (9-12)
- Molecular basis of heredity
- The chemical and structural properties of DNA explain how the genetic information that underlies heredity is both encoded in genes (as a string of molecular "letters") and replicated (by a templating mechanism). (9-12)
- Each DNA molecule in a cell forms a single chromosome. (9-12)
- Most of the cells in a human contain two copies of each of 22 different chromosomes. (9-12)
- Changes in DNA (mutations) occur spontaneously at low rates. (9-12)
- Science as Inquiry
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Ask a question about objects, organisms, and events in the environment.
- 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)
