CONTENT: Dissolved
Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity The availability
of matter and energy and the availability of the ecosystem to recycle
materials, limit the distribution and abundance of organisms and populations
in ecosystems (autotrophic organisms; water cycle; nitrogen cycle; consumer
levels in ecosystems, etc.)
PERFORMANCE: Experimental Design Students will describe the physiological importance or carbon and oxygen in an ecosystem, understand the effect of light and nutrients on photosynthesis, and design an experiment to measure primary productivity in an aquatic ecosystem. |

Nitrogen cycle

BH9
|
CONTENT: Behavior,
Habitat Selection Organism may cooperate or compete in
ecosystems. Explain, understand or describe: ecology and evolution,
major biomes, environmental requirements for life, effect of environmental
changes, etc.
PERFORMANCE: Experimentation,
Lab Report:

DBH61
|
CONTENT: Genetics
of Dropsophilia BAsed on Mendel's observations, scientists
developed the chromosone theory of inheritance. According to this
theory, 1,) Mendelian factors or genes are located on chromomes.2) It is
the chromosomes that segregate and independently assort.
PERFORMANCE: Experimentation, Lab Report: Students will conduct genetic experiments for a number of generations; explain the importance of of chi square analysis; design genetic crosses; and discuss the life cycle of the fruit fly. |

|
DBH62
|
CONTENT: Historic
Experiments in DNA History: Deoxyribonucleic acid, or
DNA,
is the genetic material in Mendel's heritable factors and Morgan's genes
or chromosomes. Inheritance has its molecular basis in the precise replication
and transmission of DNA from parent to offspring.
PERFORMANCE: Research Paper/Class Presentation: Students will research assigned scientists involved in the discovery of the structure and function of DNA. Students will have a class presentation using any audio visual aids that will enhance their lesson. |
|
Genetic Engineering
|
DBH63
|
CONTENT: Molecular
Biology: Recombinant DNA technology refers to the
set of techniques for recombining genes from different
sources in vitro and transferring this recombinant DNA into a cell where
it may be expressed.
PERFORMANCE: Experimentation, Class Discussion: Students will discuss the mechanisms of action for restriction endonucleases; discuss how plasmid can be engineered to include a piece of foreign DNA; understand and be able to explain the principles of electrophoresis as they pertain to separating and identifying DNA fragments. |
|
|
DBH64
|
CONTENT: Population
Genetics and Evolution: Evolution includes the processes
that have transformed life on Earth from its earliest beginnings to the
seemingly infinite diversity that characterizes it today. (Darwin, species,
variation, artificial vs. natural selection, genetic equilibrium)
PERFORMANCE: Class Discussion/Presentation: students will discuss the effects of natural selection on allelic frequencies and the relationship between evolution and the changes in allele frequency as measured by changes from the Hardy -Weinberg law of genetic equilibrium. |
