1 Scope and Sequence Life Science Molecular Course Instructor(s) Text Prerequisite Grade Course Description s Life Science Molecular (0.5 credits) Jeremy Ensrud, TJ Emory, Jay Mull, Lacey Davis, Caitlin Hendon, Pearson Biology by Miller and Levine N/A Sophomore The course content for this class covers basic cellular biology, including scientific methods, cell structure and function, biomolecules, DNA and protein synthesis, free energy, cell cycle, and genetics. The course is designed to introduce students to fundamental biology concepts. After success in this class, students are encouraged take the advanced level classes we offer in genetics ecology, and zoology. 1 (): Cell Theory NGSS: HS LS1 2 CCSS Literacy Standards Covered: SL (1 weeks): Intro to Biochemistry NGSS: HS LS1 1, HS LS3 1 CCSS Literacy Standards Covered:, RST , WHST (2 weeks): DNA and Protein Synthesis NGSS: HS LS1 1, HS LS3 1 CCSS Literacy Standards Covered:, RST , WHST (): Cell Processes NGSS: HS LS1 3, HS LS1 5, HS LS1 6, HS LS1 7 CCSS Literacy Standards Covered:, WHST , WHST , WHST , WHST , WHST , SL (): Cell Cycle and Genetics EA Opportunities CRLE Opportunities Work Sample(s) or Task Opportunities NGSS: HS LS1 1, HS LS1 4, HS LS3 1, HS LS3 2, HS LS3 3 CCSS Literacy Standards Covered:, RST , WHSt , WHST , SL

7 6: Cell Cycle & Genetics Mitosis Meiosis Mendelian Genetics Non Mendelian Genetics HS LS1 1 HS LS1 4 HS LS3 1 HS LS3 2 HS LS3 3 Tasks or Work RST MP.2 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. Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation producing and maintaining complex organisms. Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. 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 distributio of expressed traits in a population. Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
