| Survey of Biology (V01) Semester Two Instruction and Assessment Connection for South Dakota Science Standards |
|
|---|---|
| Earth and Space Science (ESS) Core Idea 1: Earth’s Place in the Universe |
|
| Learning Standard | Test Questions |
| HS-ESS1-5 Evaluate evidence of past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. | 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 |
| HS-ESS1-6 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. | 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 |
| Life Science (LS) Core Idea 1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes |
|
| Learning Standard | Test Questions |
| HS-LS1-1 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. | 22, 23, 24, 25 |
| Core Idea 3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits | |
| Learning Standard | Test Questions |
| HS-LS3-1 Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
| HS-LS3-2 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. | 7,8,9,10 |
| HS-LS3-3 Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. | 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 |
| Core Idea 4: Biological Unity and Diversity | |
| Learning Standard | Test Questions |
| HS-LS4-1 Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence. | 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 |
| 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. | 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 |
| 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. | 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 |
| HS-LS4-4 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. | 57, 58, 59, 60 |
| HS-LS4-5 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. | 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 |
