Port Clinton Science Course of Study | |

|GRADE: 11-12 |UNIT: Marine Organisms |Suggested Time: 4 weeks |

|Standard Life Sciences |

|Students demonstrate an understanding of how living systems function and how they interact with the physical environment. This includes an understanding of the |

|cycling of matter and flow of energy in living systems. An understanding of the characteristics, structure and function of cells, organisms and living systems |

|will be developed. Students will also develop a deeper understanding of the principles of heredity, biological evolution, and the diversity and interdependence of|

|life. Students demonstrate an understanding of different historical perspectives, scientific approaches and emerging scientific issues associated with the life |

|sciences. |
