2.3.4 (DOK 3) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to analyze global patterns of atmospheric movement and explain the basic relationships of patterns of atmospheric movement to local weather. Global patterns of atmospheric movement can be observed and/or analyzed by interpreting patterns within data. Atmospheric movements influence local weather. Oceans have a major effect on climate, because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat. Related data can be used to predict change in weather and climate.

Biological Science (20%)

3.4.1 (DOK 2) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to describe and compare living systems to understand the complementary nature of structure and function. Observations and comparisons of living systems at all levels of organization systems he systems nature of structure and function. Important levels of organization for structure and function include cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, systems (e.g., bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, animals), and systems. Examining the relationship between structure and function provides a basis for comparisons and classification schemes.

Unity & Diversity Application Master 1.0 (a) Classroom
  
3.4.2 (DOK 2) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to explain the essential functions of cells necessary to sustain life. Cells carry on the many functions needed to sustain life. Models of cells, both physical and functions, promote understanding of their structures and functions. Cells grow and divide, thereby producing more functions. This requires that they take in nutrients, which provide energy for the work that cells do and make the materials that a cell needs.

3.4.3 Supporting
The learner will be able to understand that ALL organisms are composed of cells, the fundamental unit of life. Most organisms are single cells; other organisms, including plants and animals are multicellular.

3.5.1 (DOK 2) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to describe cause and effect relationships between enhanced survival/reproductive success and particular biological adaptations (e.g., changes in structures, behaviors, and/or physiology) to generalize about the diversity of species. Biological change over time accounts for the diversity of species developed through gradual processes over many generations. Examining cause and effect relationships between enhanced survival/reproductive between and between adaptations (e.g., changes in structures, behaviors, and/or physiology, based on evidence gathered, creates the basis for explaining diversity.

Unifying concepts (20%)

4.6.1 (DOK 2) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to classify energy phenomena as kinetic or potential; and describe the transfer of energy occurring in simple systems or related data. Energy can be classified as kinetic or potential. Energy is a property of many substances and energy can be found in several different forms. For example, chemical energy as found in food we eat or in the gasoline we burn in our car. Heat, light (solar), sound, electrical energy and the energy associated with motion (called kinetic energy) are examples of other forms of energy. Objects can have energy simply by virtue of their position, called potential energy. Energy is transferred in many ways. Analyzing simple systems can provide the basis for describing the transfer of energy occurring within the system. .

4.6.2 Supporting
The learner will be able to understand that the Sun is a major source of energy for changes on Earth's surface. The Sun loses energy by emitting light. A tiny fraction of that light reaches Earth, transferring energy from the Sun to Earth.

4.6.3 (DOK 3) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to draw conclusions about the transfer of energy within models/representations of electrical circuits as evidenced by the heat, light, sound, and magnetic effects that are produced; and describe changes within the system that would affect the transfer of energy. Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy. This transfer can be observed and described as heat, light, sound, and magnetic effects are produced. Models and diagrams can be used to support conclusions and predict consequences of change within an electrical circuit. .

4.6.4 (DOK 3) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to identify predictable patterns and make generalizations about light and matter interactions using data/evidence. Light energy interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction), absorption, or scattering (including reflection). Questions related to these phenomena should drive the design of simple investigations that will yield evidence of the predictable patterns associated with these interactions. .

4.7.1 (DOK 3) ASSESSED
The learner will be able to describe and categorize populations of organisms according to the function they serve in an ecosystem such as producers, consumers and decomposers; and the learner will draw conclusions about the effects of changes to populations in an ecosystem. Populations of organisms can be categorized by the function they serve in an ecosystem. Plants and some microorganisms are producers because they make their own food. All animals, including humans, are consumers, and obtain their food by eating other organisms. Decomposers, primarily bacteria and fungi, are consumers that use waste materials and dead organisms for food. Food webs identify the relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. Using data gained from observing interacting components within an ecosystem, the effects of changes can be predicted.
