         MAP LEVEL: 1
07.0 SCIENCE

07.0.3.0.4 -- Students will describe how a variety of organisms, such as producers, obtain their basic needs (e.g., food, water, air)

07.0.3.0.5 -- Students will explain how organisms interact with other organisms in different environments (e.g., mutualism, parasitism, competition)

07.0.3.0.6 -- Students will explain that some source of energy is needed for all organisms to stay alive and grow.

07.0.3.5.1 -- Students will describe the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem and provide specific examples of each

07.0.3.5.2 -- Students will explain the need for sunlight and other abiotic factors, such as water and air, in an ecosystem

07.0.3.5.3 -- Students will explain that while matter s recycled in an ecosystem, there is a one-way flow of energy in ecosystems

07.0 SCIENCE

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

07.0.12.9.2 -- Students will recognize that heat energy is related to the disordered motion of atoms or molecules

07.0.12.9.3 -- Students will understand that the total amount of disorder in the universe is increasing

07.0.13.9.1 -- Students will explain how the interactions between various energy forms and matter can produce physical, chemical and nuclear transformations



1. What is energy?
2. How do organisms obtain energy and nutrients?
3. What is the path of energy through organisms?
4. What is the path of energy through an ecosystem?
5. What are the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics?
6. What role do enzymes play in utlilizing/conserving energy?
7. Where does digestion occur?
8. What is metabolism?
9. How do synthesis and decomposition reactions compare?




1. Define chemical and free energy
2. Chemical, transport and mechanical work within a cell
3. Obtainment of energy: consumption of other living organisms vs. utlilization of abiotic factors (photosynthesis and chemosynthesis)
4. The path of energy through organisms (photosynthesis and cellular respiration) and through the ecosystem
5. The role of autotrophs and heterotrophs (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers) in an ecosystem
6. Energy conversions
7. The role of enzymes in catalyzing chemical reactions in living organims: enzymes, catalyst, active site, substrate
8. Factors that affect enzyme activity
9. Digestion in single celled and multicellular organisms
10. Metabolism: synthesis vs. decomposition reactions
11. The role of ATP as an energy carrying molecule and its molecular make-up





Students in Biology I will develop the ability to:
1. Analyze a food chain/web and pyramid, including the relationship of the autotrophs and heterotrophs and flow of energy and biomass,
2. How do enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction,
3. Describe the factors that affect enzymatic activity,
4. Explain the purpose of digestion,
5. Compare physical and chemical digestion,
6. Define metabolism,
7. Compare synthesis reactions and decomposition reactions,
8. Explain the uses of energy stored in ATP,
9. Explain the ADP/ATP cycle.
