Archdioscean Instructional Goals:

1. Conduct an investigation to demonstrate that all living things are made of cells, including organisms made of only one cell and those made of many different types of cells

2. Develop and explain a model showing how different parts of a cell work together to carry out the cell’s functions

3. Use evidence to support an argument that the human body is made up of systems that interact and are formed from groups of specialized cells

4. Support an explanation with evidence showing how animal behaviors and plant structures help increase the chances of successful reproduction

5. Construct a scientific explanation that shows how both environmental conditions and genetic traits affect how organisms grow

6. Create and explain a model showing how changes in genes (mutations) can affect the proteins made and result in positive, negative, or neutral effects on an organism

7 Develop a model to explain how asexual reproduction produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction results in genetically varied offspring
