technique for a variety of laboratory
procedures
design an experiment using the
scientific method
interpret data from a variety of text
and visual sources
Taxonomy
apply the Kingdom system of
classification to study the diversity of
organisms
Evolution
describe the process of evolution
Ecology
analyse the functional inter-
relationships of organisms within an
ecosystem
Microbiology
evaluate the evidence used to classify
viruses as living or non-living
evaluate the effects of viruses on
human health
analyse monerans as a lifeform at the
prokaryotic level of organization
Evidence
of Science
Unit 1 Project 2: Create a Scientific
Experiment
Took safety into consideration when
designing experiment to test heating
properties of various clothing.
Unit 1 Project 2: Create a Scientific
Experiment
Designed an experiment to answer
question What color is best to wear on a
hot, sunny day?
Unit 2 Project 1: Virtual Lab
Used lab data from 5 generations of
rabbits to make predictions about
natural selection.
Unit 2: Project 2 Survival of the fittest
Used understanding of agents of
evolutionary change to make predictions
about changes in organisms over
subsequent populations.
Unit 3: Project 3 Symbiosis made
simple
Demonstrated understanding of
mutualism, commensalism and
parasitism through a PowerPoint
presentation
Unit 4 Learning Guide Page 7
Complete graphic organizer looking at
characteristics of viruses in comparison
to living and non-living things
Unit 4: Project 2
Unit 5 Learning Guide Pages 2-7
Complete cloze activity relating to
classification of monerans
evaluate the effectiveness of various Unit 5 Assignment 2: Germ Gazette
antibiotics, disinfectants, or antiseptics Researched and analyzed effectiveness
on bacterial cultures of 3 common antibiotic drugs on various
bacterial population.
Plant Biology
analyse how the increasing complexity
of algae, mosses, and ferns represent an
evolutionary
continuum of adaptation to a land
environment
analyse how the increasing complexity
of gymnosperms and angiosperms
contribute to survival in a land
environment
Animal Biology
analyse how the increasing complexity
of animal phyla represents an
evolutionary continuum
analyse the increasing complexity of
the Phylum Platyhelminthes, the Phylum
Nematoda, and the
Phylum Annelida
analyse the increasing complexity of
the Phylum Porifera and the Phylum
Cnidaria
analyse the increasing complexity of
the Phylum Mollusca, the Phylum
Echinodermata, and the
Phylum Arthropoda
relate the complexity of the form and
function of vertebrates to the
evolutionary continuum
of animals
