Quiz approx. Friday, 8/30
Quiz approx. Friday, 8/30
Scientific Method / STERNGRR: Unit #1
Essential Standard: Science as Inquiry
Bio.2.1 Analyze the interdependence of living organisms within their environments
Clarifying Objectives:
Bio.2.1.2 Analyze the survival and reproductive success of organisms in terms of behavioral, structural, and reproductive adaptations.
Unpacking – What does this standard mean a child will know, understand, and be able to do?
Bio 2.1.2
Key Vocabulary:
3rd Tier Words: variable (independent / dependent), control, experimental, hypothesis, data, synthesis, transport, excretion, respiration, nutrition, growth/development, reproduction, regulation, homeostasis, quantitative, qualitative, metabolism, theoretical, stimulus, differentiation
2nd Tier Words: essential, expend, conclusion, camouflage, movement, alter, alternative, discard, estimate, effective, ineffective, fundamental, infer, moderate, processes
Common Misconceptions:
Essential Questions Criteria for Success: “I Will”
Science as Inquiry How do you design an experiment?
2.1.2 How living organisms carry out the STERNGRR life processes.

Bio 2.1.2
- Analyze how various organisms accomplish life functions through adaptations within particular environments (example: water or land) to ensure survival and reproductive success.
- Relate prior understanding of survival and reproductive success to evidence of variations observed in species three areas:
- structural adaptations – nutrition, respiration, transport and excretion mechanisms, camouflage, movement
- reproductive adaptations – sexual vs. asexual, eggs, seeds, spores, placental, types of fertilization
Key Vocabulary:
3rd Tier Words: variable (independent / dependent), control, experimental, hypothesis, data, synthesis, transport, excretion, respiration, nutrition, growth/development, reproduction, regulation, homeostasis, quantitative, qualitative, metabolism, theoretical, stimulus, differentiation
2nd Tier Words: essential, expend, conclusion, camouflage, movement, alter, alternative, discard, estimate, effective, ineffective, fundamental, infer, moderate, processes
Common Misconceptions:
- A given experiment can test for the effects of everything that is included in the study, whether these variables are allowed to vary or are held constant.
- A given experiment tests for the effects of ALL related variables, regardless of whether they are allowed to vary or are held constant.
- When testing the effect of a variable on the outcome of the experiment, it does not matter if other relevant variables change at the same time.
- A controlled experiment tests for the effect of variables that are held constant, not the variable that is allowed to change.
- If two variables change at the same time, one can learn about the effect of each variable on the outcome.
Essential Questions Criteria for Success: “I Will”
Science as Inquiry How do you design an experiment?
- Given the purpose of an experiment, I will identify the independent and dependent variables, the control group, experimental groups, and constants
- I will use the independent and dependent variable to write a hypothesis for an experiment, based on background information.
- I will interpret charts and graphs to derive the meaning of the data displayed.
- I will analyze quantitative (numerical) and qualitative (descriptive) data to form a conclusion and accept or reject a hypothesis.
- I will recognize the changing nature of science and the benefits of scientific collaboration.
2.1.2 How living organisms carry out the STERNGRR life processes.
- I will provide a simple description for each of the STERNGRR life processes.
- Given a description, I will identify the STERNGRR life process being described.
- I will provide examples for each of the STERNGRR life processes.
