Priority Standards
HS-LS1-3 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis
MS-PS1-1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
HS - Ls1-2: Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.
HS-LS1-6. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.
Supporting Standards:
MS-LS1-7. Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.HS-LS1-5. Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.
HS-LS2-3. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

- develop testable questions to investigate cause and effect relationships about the chemical and biological processes for maintaining life.
establish the test groups and variables within experiments to ensure the data and observations collected will accurately align with our testable question and reduce the influence of outside factors on the reliability of our data. - generate a hypothesis about the results of our experiments that applies logical connections to background information.
