         MAP LEVEL:
07.0 SCIENCE

07.0.3.9.1 -- Students will explain chemical bonds and metabolic processes, such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration, as the use of energy by organisms

07.0.3.9.2 -- Students will explain that the distribution and abundance of organisms and populations in ecosystems are ultimately governed by the availability of matter and energy and the ability of the ecosystem to recycle organic materials

07.0.3.9.3 -- Students will describe the movement of matter and energy through different levels of organizations of living systems and show how matter and energy are transformed and conserved

07.0.4.9.3 -- Students will explain that the structure and function of cells depends on proteins, which are made of specific sequences of amino acids coded by the DNA, that are unique to each individual

07.0.4.9.6 -- Students will know that cells function in a narrow range of physical conditions, such as temperature and pH, to carry out life functions that help them maintain themselves (homeostasis)

07.0.4.9.9 -- Students will understand that the matter making up living things is the same matter found in the physical world.

07.0 SCIENCE

07.0.11.9.1 -- Students will describe the nature of atoms and how atoms combine to form molecules

07.0.11.9.2 -- Students will explain how the chemical and physical properties of substances are related to their atomic and molecular structures

07.0.11.9.4 -- Students will use chemical formulas and equations to obtain and communicate information about chemical changes

07.0.12.9.1 -- Students will classify various forms of energy as either kinetic or potential

07.0.12.9.4 -- Students will explain that, although energy changes into different forms within a closed system, the total amount of energy remains unchanged, while the amount of useful energy is decreased



What is the composition and arrangement of atomic components?
In what ways can atoms be modified to change their chemical properties?
What are the different chemical associations among atoms and molecules and their properties?
How does the bonding of atoms relate to the resultant properties of the molecules?
What is meant by pH and how does it affect the life process?
What are the major catagories of organic molecules and their role in living systems?
In what way do enzymes facilitate chemical reactions and how does their structure relate to this function?




1. Matter and its forms
2. Composition and organization of the atom
3. Chemical reactions and the role of enzymes
4. Covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds -- the conditions and resulting bond strength for each
5. pH: the pH scale, accuracy of pH measurement techniques (indicators vs. litmus paper vs. probes), buffers, and its impact on molecular design
6. Organic molecules: carbohydrates (monosaccarides, disaccardies, polysaccarides), lipids (phospholipids, triglycerides, cholesterol), proteins (structural vs. enzymatic), and nucleic acids (DNA vs. RNA)
a. structure
b. function





Students in Biology I will develop the ability to:
1. Describe and illustrate atomic structure,
2. Relate atomic structure to its reactivity,
3. Describe the formation of covalent and ionic bonds,
4. Compare and contrast covalent and ionic bonds,
5. Compare and contrast polar and nonpolar molecules,
6. Describe hydrogen bonds and their role in living systems
7. Qualitatively determine pH and its relevence to living systems,
8. Compare the accuracy of pH measurement techniques -- indicators, litmus paper and probes,
9. Describe the role and mechanism behind buffers in living organisms,
10. Describe both structure and function of the major classes of organic molecules.



1. The use of pH indicators, paper, and probes
2. The use of molecular model kits for constructing organic and inorganic molecules
