Intended Audience: General Reading Level: High School Teacher Section: No Searchable: No
Science: Life Science
Curriculum Standard 3a
Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to recognize patterns and products
of evolution, including genetic variation, specialization, adaptation, and natural
selection.
Proficiency Standards
By the end of grade six students will be able to: -
Classify a variety of organisms based on their characteristics, and use this
scheme as a tool to organize information about the diversity of life forms.
Proficiency
Standards
By the end of grade ten students will be able to: -
Identify and give examples of representative life forms in the five kingdoms
of living things.
-
Relate different kinds of animals and plants to their habitat by observing their
physical characteristics.
Curriculum Standard 3b
Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to understand how environmental
factors affect all living systems (i.e. individuals, community, biome, the biosphere)
as well as species to species interactions.
Proficiency Standards
By the end of grade six students will be able to: -
Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the process of photosynthesis and its importance
for all life forms.
-
Identify and describe the basic requirements for sustaining life, e.g. plants
and animals need food for energy and growth.
-
Conduct an investigation which illustrates how the environment affects the viability
of plants or animals within that environment.
Curriculum Standard 3d
Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to understand fundamental structures,
functions, and mechanisms of inheritance found in microorganisms, fungi, protists,
plants, and animals.
Proficiency Standards
By the end of grade six students will be able to: - Identify the major anatomical features of plants and animals, and the
major function of each.
-
Observe and describe major characteristics of various life forms, e.g. microorganisms,
fungi, protists, plants and animals.
Science: Earth/Space Science Curriculum Standard 4b
Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to understand that the Earth
is a complex planet with five interacting systems, which consists of the solid
Earth (lithosphere), air (atmosphere), water (hydrosphere), ice (cryosphere),
and life (biosphere).
Proficiency Standards
By the end of grade six students will be able to: -
Describe basic facts about major features of the Earth's surface and natural
changes in the features,e.g. volcanoes, earthquakes, glaciers.
-
Construct models that demonstrate the effects of water, ice, wind, and waves
on the Earth's land surfaces, e.g. stream tables, wave tanks.
Social Studies: Geography
Curriculum Standard 12
Students will demonstrate an understanding of landform patterns and water systems
on Earth's surface; the physical processes that shape these patterns; and the
characteristics and distribution of ecosystems.
Proficiency Standards
By the end of grade six students will be able to: -
Identify and describe
the major landforms and water systems found on Earth's surface.
-
Describe the roles
of water, wind, ice, temperature, and slope in shaping the physical features
of Earth's major landforms and discuss how glaciers, wind, and water have shaped
the physical landscape of New Hampshire.
