Central High School

This website was designed for Science teachers/ students to be used for classroom research. Teachers please note I also included state standards to be used in lesson plans.

Teaching Standards

Physical Science P1: All matter in the Universe is made of very small particles. P2: Objects can affect other objects at a distance. P3: Changing the movement of an object requires a net force to be acting on it. P4: The total amount of energy in a closed system is always the same but can be transferred from one energy store to another during an event. Earth and Space Science E1: The composition of the Earth and its atmosphere and the natural and human processes occurring within them shape the Earth’s surface and its climate. E2: The Earth and our solar system are a very small part of one of many galaxies within the Universe. Life Science L1: Organisms are organized on a cellular basis and have a finite life span. L2: Organisms require a supply of energy and materials for which they often depend on, or compete with, other organisms. L3: Genetic information is passed down from one generation of organisms to another. L4: The unity and diversity of organisms, living and extinct, is the result of evolution.

Teaching Standards

U1: Scientists explain phenomena using evidence obtained from observations and or scientific investigations. Evidence may lead to developing models or theories to make sense of phenomena. As new evidence is discovered, models and theories can be revised.  U2: The knowledge produced by science is used in engineering and technologies to solve problems and/or create products. U3: Applications of science often have both positive and negative ethical, social, economic, and/or political implications.

Teaching Standards

HS.L2U3.18 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate about the positive and negative ethical, social, economic, and political implications of human activity on the biodiversity of an ecosystem.

HS.L2U1.19 Develop and use models that show how changes in the transfer of matter and energy within an ecosystem and interactions between species may affect organisms and their environment.
