Generate resourceDevelop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
Generate resourceEvaluate information to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.
Generate resourceUse arguments, based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning, to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.
Generate resourceConstruct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
Generate resourceDevelop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism.
Generate resourceDevelop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
Generate resourceAnalyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operated in the past as they do today.
Generate resourceApply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer their ancestral relationships.
Generate resourceConstruct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individual’s probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
Generate resourceGather and synthesize information about technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
Generate resourceUse mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.
Generate resourceApply Newton’s third law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
Generate resourcePlan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
