Science as Inquiry

Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations

Science as Inquiry Science as Inquiry

Design and conduct scientific investigations Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications

9-12 SI.Students formulate a testable hypothesis and demonstrate the logical connections between the scientific concepts guiding a hypothesis and the design of an experiment. They should demonstrate appropriate procedures, a knowledge base, and conceptual understanding of scientific investigations. The key is that the student demonstrates knowledge of the scientific concepts through the investigation. 9-12.SI.2 Develop the ability to connect their questions with scientific ideas, concepts, and quantitative relationships that guide investigations. 9-12.SI.3 A variety of technologies, such as hand tools, measuring instruments, and calculators should be an integral component of scientific investigations. The use of computers for the collection, analysis, and display of data is also a part of this standard. Mathematics plays an essential role in all aspects of an inquiry investigation. For example, measurement is used for posing questions, formulas are used for developing explanations, and charts and graphs are used for communicating results. 9-12 SI.4 Student inquiries should culminate in formulating an explanation or model. Models should be physical, conceptual, and mathematical. In the process of answering the questions, the students should engage in discussions and arguments that result in the revision of their explanations. These discussions should be based on scientific knowledge, the use of logic, and evidence from their investigation. 9-12 SI.5 Thinking critically about evidence includes deciding what evidence should be used and accounting for anomalous data. Specifically, students should be able to review data from a simple experiment, summarize the data, and form a logical argument about the cause-and-effect relationships in the experiment. 9-12 SI.6 Formulate questions, design investigations, execute investigations, interpret data, use evidence to generate explanations, propose alternative explanations, and critique explanations and procedures. 9-12.SI.7 Students in school science programs should develop the abilities associated with accurate and effective communication. These include writing and following procedures, expressing concepts, reviewing information, summarizing data, using language appropriately, developing diagrams and charts, explaining statistical analysis, speaking clearly and logically, constructing a reasoned argument, and responding appropriately to critical comments.

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). DNA mutations occur spontaneously at low rates. Some of these changes make no difference to the organism, whereas others can change cells and organisms. Some mutations can be caused by environmental factors. Understand and LS.11 DNA, chromosomes, and sexual apply knowledge reproduction of the molecular basis of heredity DNA forms chromosomes.

LS.14 The fact that an organism is formed from cells that contain two copies of each chromosome, and therefore two copies of each gene, explains many features of heredity, such as how variations that are hidden in one generation can be expressed in the next. Different genes coding for the same feature code for it in different ways thus leading to identifiable patterns in heritable traits. These patterns of inheritance can be identified and predicted.

Note: the broad topic of Human Biology is integrated into different areas of the middle school and high school curricula (see Middle School standard+ "Relationships between function and structure last two bullets). Thus some human body systems are omitted from this curriculum. PS 1 Atomic structure: Matter is made of minute particles called atoms, and atoms are composed of even smaller components. These components have measurable properties, such as mass and electrical charge. Each atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The electric force between the nucleus and electrons holds the atom together. PS 2 Atomic nucleus (composition and size):The atoms nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, which are much more massive than electrons. When an element has atoms that differ in the number of neutrons, these atoms are called different isotopes of the element.

PS 4 Nuclear forces: Fission and Fusion: The nuclear forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together, at nuclear distances, are usually stronger than the electric forces that would make it fly apart. Nuclear reactions convert a fraction of the mass of interacting particles into energy, and they can release much greater amounts of energy than atomic interactions. Fission is the splitting of a large nucleus into smaller pieces. Fusion is the joining of two nuclei at extremely high temperature and pressure, and is the process responsible for the energy of the sun and other stars. PS 5 Radioactive isotopes: Radioactive isotopes are unstable and undergo spontaneous nuclear reactions, emitting particles and/or wavelike radiation. The decay of any one nucleus cannot be predicted, but a large group of identical nuclei decay at a predictable rate. This predictability can be used to estimate the age of materials that contain radioactive isotopes. PS 6 Predictable rates of decay: Radioactive isotopes are unstable and undergo spontaneous nuclear reactions, emitting particles and/or wavelike radiation. The decay of any one nucleus cannot be predicted, but a large group of identical nuclei decay at a predictable rate. This predictability can be used to estimate the age of materials that contain radioactive isotopes. PS 7 Valence electrons: Atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing electrons that are the furthest from the nucleus. These outer electrons govern the chemical properties of the element. PS 8 Chemical bonds: Atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing electrons that are the furthest from the nucleus. These outer electrons govern the chemical properties of the element. PS 9 Periodic table: An element is composed of a single type of atom. When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons (called the atomic number), repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties. This Periodic Table is a consequence of the repeating pattern of outermost electrons and their permitted energies PS 10 Periodic trends: An element is composed of a single type of atom.

PS 11 Molecular and ionic structures: Bonds between atoms are created when electrons are paired up by being transferred or shared. A substance composed of a single kind of atom is called an element. The atoms may be bonded together into molecules or crystalline solids. A compound is formed when two or more kinds of atoms bind together chemically. PS 12 Physical properties of chemical compounds: Bonds between atoms are created when electrons are paired up by being transferred or shared. A substance composed of a single kind of atom is called an element. The atoms may be bonded together into molecules or crystalline solids. A compound is formed when two or more kinds of atoms bind together chemically. PS 13 States of matter: Solids, liquids, and gases differ in the distances and angles between molecules or atoms and, therefore, the energy that binds them together. In solids the structure is nearly rigid; in liquids molecules or atoms move around each other but do not move apart; and in gases molecules or atoms move almost independently of each other and are mostly far apart.

Understand and apply knowledge of chemical reactions

PS 17 Common reactions: Chemical reactions is an essential concept of a world-class secondary science curriculum. Included in chemical reactions is the following content: Chemical reactions occur all around us, for example in health care, cooking, cosmetics, and automobiles. Complex chemical reactions involving carbon-based molecules take place constantly in every cell in our bodies. PS 18 Thermochemistry: Chemical reactions may release or consume energy. Some reactions such as the burning of fossil fuels release large amounts of energy by losing heat and by emitting light. Light can initiate many chemical reactions such as photosynthesis and the evolution of urban smog. PS 19 Types of reactions: A large number of important reactions involve the transfer of either electrons (oxidation/reduction reactions) or hydrogen ions (acid/base reactions) between reacting ions, molecules, or atoms. In other reactions, chemical bonds are broken by heat or light to form very reactive radicals with electrons ready to form new bonds. Radical reactions control many processes such as the presence of ozone and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, burning and processing of fossil fuels, the formation of polymers, and explosions. PS 20 Acids and bases: A large number of important reactions involve the transfer of either electrons (oxidation/reduction reactions) or hydrogen ions (acid/base reactions) between reacting ions, molecules, or atoms. In other reactions, chemical bonds are broken by heat or light to form very reactive radicals with electrons ready to form new bonds. Radical reactions control many processes such as the presence of ozone and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, burning and processing of fossil fuels, the formation of polymers, and explosions. PS 21 Common reactions in living systems: A large number of important reactions involve the transfer of either electrons (oxidation/reduction reactions) or hydrogen ions (acid/base reactions) between reacting ions, molecules, or atoms. In other reactions, chemical bonds are broken by heat or light to form very reactive radicals with electrons ready to form new bonds.

PS 22 Reaction rates and equilibrium: Chemical reactions can take place in time periods ranging from the few femtoseconds (10 15 seconds) required for an atom to move a fraction of a chemical bond distance to geologic time scales of billions of years. Reaction rates depend on how often the reacting atoms and molecules encounter one another, the temperature, and the properties including shapeof the reacting elements. PS 23 Motions: Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. The magnitude of the change in motion can be calculated using the relationship F = ma, which is independent of the nature of the force. Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. PS 24 Forces: Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. The magnitude of the change in motion can be calculated using the relationship F = ma, which is independent of the nature of the force. Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. PS 25 Newton's Law: Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. The magnitude of the change in motion can be calculated using the relationship F = ma, which is independent of the nature of the force. Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. PS 26 Gravitation: Gravitation is a universal force that each mass exerts on any other mass. The strength of the gravitational attractive force between two masses is proportional to the masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. PS 27 Mass versus weight: Gravitation is a universal force that each mass exerts on any other mass. The strength of the gravitational attractive force between two masses is proportional to the masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Understand and apply knowledge of motions and forces

PS 28 Electric and magnetic forces: The electric force is a universal force that exists between any two charged objects. Opposite charges attract, while like charges repel. The strength of the force is proportional to the charges, and, as with gravitation, inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Between any two charged particles, electric force is vastly greater than the gravitational force. Most observable forces such as those exerted by a coiled spring or friction may be traced to electric forces acting between atoms and molecules. Electricity and magnetism are two aspects of a single electromagnetic force. Moving electric charges produce magnetic forces, and moving magnets produce electric forces. These effects help students understand electric motors and generators. 2nd semester (PS) ch 11, 12 (PS) quizzes, tests (PS) reading, notes, labs (PS)

Understand and apply knowledge of conservation of energy and increase in disorder

PS 29 Types of energy: Conservation of energy and increase in disorder is an essential concept of a world-class secondary science curriculum. Included in conservation of energy and increase in disorder is the following content: The total energy of the universe is constant. Energy can be transferred by collisions in chemical and nuclear reactions, by light waves and other radiations, and in many other ways. However, it can never be destroyed. As these transfers occur, the matter involved becomes steadily less ordered. All energy can be considered to be either kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion; potential energy, which depends on relative position; or energy contained by a field, such as electromagnetic waves.
