*Ohio’s Science Competency Model, Grades 9-12

 

 

History & Nature of Science

1.       evaluate or design scientific investigations to formulate and/or revise scientific explanations and models.

2.       evaluate information derived from popular and technical sources to determine its scientific validity in making evidence-based decisions.

3.       given a personal, societal, or global circumstance, identify, interpret, and/or apply appropriate safety precautions and equipment.

4.       given a particular scientific theory or protocol, explain how and/or why the theory or protocol may have changed over time.

Physical Science

5.       relate uses, properties, and chemical processes (reactions) of matter to the behavior and/or arrangement of small particles which compose matter.

6.       describe and predict the effects of forces (e.g., elastic, gravitational, electric, magnetic) on objects and on the motion of objects within a system.

7.       analyze transformations of energy and recognize its conservation (constancy) within a system.

8.       given the waves (e.g., sound, light) carry energy, compare and predict interactions of waves with matter.

Earth & Space Science

9.       relate internal and external sources of energy in the Earth system to processes and cycles (e.g., air, water, or land) occurring since the Earth’s origin.

10.  describe relationships among the Earth, other planets, and other objects in the solar system.

11.  relate changes in the form or distribution of matter to the cyclic and finite mature of resources within the closed Earth system.

Life Science

12.  analyze and compare regulatory processes (e.g., neural, endocrine, immune) in living things.

13.  relate the chemical basis of life to heredity, diversity, species survival, adaptations, and extinction.

14.  relate heredity of organisms to the long-term survival of populations based on mutations, variations in populations, and changes in populations as a result of differential reproduction.

15.  explain how living things interact with the living and non-living components of the environment.
