SCI.LS: Life Science

SCI.LS1: Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of structures and processes (on a scale from molecules to organisms) to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms

SCI.LS1.B.3: Reproduction is essential to every kind of organism. Organisms have unique and diverse life cycles.

Germination

SCI.LS3: Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of heredity to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits

SCI.LS3.A.3: Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents. Other characteristics result from individuals’ interactions with the environment. Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment.

Inheritance

SCI.LS4: Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of biological evolution to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.LS4.B: Natural Selection

SCI.LS4.B.3: Differences in characteristics between individuals of the same species provide advantages in surviving and reproducing.

Evolution: Mutation and Selection

SCI.PS: Physical Science

SCI.PS2: Students use science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and an understanding of forces, interactions, motion and stability to make sense of phenomena and solve problems.

SCI.PS2.A: Forces and Motion

SCI.PS2.A.3.i: Qualities of motion and changes in motion require description of both size and direction.

Free Fall Tower
 Golf Range
 Shoot the Monkey

SCI.PS2.A.3.ii: The effect of unbalanced forces on an object results in a change of motion.

Atwood Machine

SCI.PS2.B: Types of Interactions

SCI.PS2.B.3: Some forces act through contact, some forces (e.g., magnetic, electrostatic) act even when the objects are not in contact.
