*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. |
