Standards of Learning--Biology Resources
There are links at the bottom of this page and every page on GeoLibrary to link to other GeoLibrary pages.
The standards for Biology are designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of living systems. Emphasis continues to be placed on the skills necessary to examine alternative scientific explanations, actively conduct controlled experiments, analyze and communicate information, and acquire and use scientific literature. The history of biological thought and
the evidence that supports it are explored and provide the foundation for investigating biochemical life processes, cellular organization, mechanisms of inheritance, dynamic relationships among organisms, and the change in organisms through time. The importance of scientific research that validates
or challenges ideas is emphasized at this level.
BIO.1 The student will plan and conduct investigations in which
observations of living things are recorded in the lab and in the field;
hypotheses are formulated based on observations;
variables are defined and investigations are designed to test hypotheses; Define Variables -- Glossary from Rutgers
graphing and arithmetic calculations are used as tools in data analysis;
conclusions are formed based on recorded quantitative and qualitative data;
BIO.4 The student will investigate and understand relationships
between cell structure and function. Key concepts include Cell Biology - Biology Net Links
BIO.5 The student will investigate and understand life functions of monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals, including humans. Key concepts include
how their structures are alike and different;
comparison of their metabolic activities;
analyses of their responses to the environment;
maintenance of homeostasis;
human health issues, human anatomy, body systems, and life functions;
