• Classify the molecules of living systems and apply basic principles of chemistry to their interaction.
• Relate cell structure and physiology.
• Compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy transformation in cells.
• Evaluate how life forms duplicate, maintain control, and exhibit hereditary patterns.
• Summarize the various types of evidence used to examine evolutionary principles.
• Assess how population and community dynamics are affected by ecological interactions.
• Describe how the systems of the human body interact to maintain homeostasis.
• Explain why evolution is the most all-encompassing scientific explanation for the history of life and the similarities in biochemistry and physiological processes among living things.
• Can students answer general questions about community and population ecology and natural selection after completing a related activity in lab?
