    Biology Units and Learning Targets

    Semester 1 - Biology A

    Unit 1 - The Science of Biology - Scientific Inquiry and Data Interpretation

    Learning Target

    1. I can construct an investigation utilizing the scientific method and good


    experimental design (problem, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis and
    conclusions, communication, independent and dependent variables, constants,
    controls.)
    2. I can apply the International System of Units to take measurements and convert
    measurements.
    3. I can apply the characteristics of life in order to determine whether an
    organism/object is living.

    Unit 2 - Biochemistry

    Learning Target

    1. I can identify properties of matter and justify their importance to life.


    2. I can explain how the structure of water contributes to its properties (properties of
    water, water is a solvent, pH scale and buffers.)
    3. I can compare and contrast the four groups of macromolecules.
    4. I can explain and analyze energy changes in chemical reactions and the role of
    enzymes in living things.

    Unit 3 - Cell Structure and Function

    Learning Target

    1. I can defend how technology has affected the timeline of the cell theory.
    2. I can compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
    3. I can create a model that shows understanding of basic cell structure.
    4. I can classify forms of transport within a cell and defend the importance and
    basis of diffusion and osmosis.

    Unit 4 - Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration, and Fermentation

    Learning Target
    1. I can develop and use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light
    energy into stored chemical energy.
    2. I can develop and use a model to illustrate how cellular respiration is used
    resulting in a net transfer of energy.
    3. I can demonstrate understanding of the cyclical nature of photosynthesis and
    cellular respiration.
    4. I can explain fermentation (alcohol and lactic acid) and justify the role of each in
    the metabolism of different organisms.

    Unit 5 - Cell Growth and Division

    Learning Target
    1. I can model mitosis and discuss its importance in cell growth and development.
    2. I can compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
    3. I can differentiate between possible benefits and issues associated with stem cell
    research.
