2 NGSS HS-Biology Summary Blueprint- NGSS Bundles Standard HS-LS1 HS-LS1-1 HS-LS1-2 HS-LS1-3 HS-LS1-4 HS-LS1-5 HS-LS1-6 HS-LS1-7 HS-LS2 HS-LS2-1 HS-LS2-2 Total Items Description From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells. Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis. Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms. Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales. Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.

3 HS-LS2-3 HS-LS2-4 HS-LS2-5 HS-LS2-6 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem % % 3 3.4% % 2 2.2% % % 3 3.4% % HS-LS2-7 Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity. HS-LS2-8 HS-LS3 HS-LS3-1 Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species chances to survive and reproduce. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring % % HS-LS3-2 HS-LS3-3 HS-LS4 HS-LS4-1 Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors. Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence. 2 of 5 NGSS HS-Biology Summary Blueprint- NGSS Bundles

4 HS-LS4-2 Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment % % HS-LS4-3 Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that organisms with an advantageous heritable trait tend to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait % % % HS-LS4-4 HS-LS4-5 HS-LS4-6 HS-ESS1 HS-ESS1-1 HS-ESS1-2 HS-ESS1-3 HS-ESS1-4 HS-ESS1-5 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. Evaluate the evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions may result in: (1) increases in the number of individuals of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other species. Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity. Earth s Place in the Universe Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the sun s core to release energy that eventually reaches Earth in the form of radiation. Construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory based on astronomical evidence of light spectra, motion of distant galaxies, and composition of matter in the universe. Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements. Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system. Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks % % 5 5.6% % % 4 4.5% % 3 of 5 NGSS HS-Biology Summary Blueprint- NGSS Bundles

5 HS-ESS1-6 HS-ESS2 HS-ESS2-1 Apply scientific reasoning and evidence from ancient Earth materials, meteorites, and other planetary surfaces to construct an account of Earth s formation and early history. Earth s Systems Develop a model to illustrate how Earth s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features % % HS-ESS2-2 HS-ESS2-3 HS-ESS2-4 Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems. Develop a model based on evidence of Earth s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection. Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth's systems result in changes in climate. HS-ESS2-5 HS-ESS2-6 HS-ESS2-7 Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Construct an argument based on evidence about the simultaneous coevolution of Earth's systems and life on Earth % % % HS-ESS3 HS-ESS3-1 HS-ESS3-2 HS-ESS3-3 HS-ESS3-4 Earth and Human Activity Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on costbenefit ratios. Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. 4 of 5 NGSS HS-Biology Summary Blueprint- NGSS Bundles

6 HS-ESS3-5 Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems. HS-ESS3-6 Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity % 5 of 5 NGSS HS-Biology Summary Blueprint- NGSS Bundles
