LIFE SCIENCE (Continued)
OBJECTIVE
Explain that changes in DNA
(mutations) occur
spontaneously at low rates,
and that only mutations in the
germ cell can create variation
that changes an organism's
offspring.

are involved in cell
replication.

information is stored in
genes.

SCIENTIFIC REASONING
OBJECTIVES
Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations, including
formulation and testing of hypotheses, use technology and mathematics to improve
investigations and communications, formulate and revise scientific explanations
(including conclusions) and models using logic and evidence, recognize and analyze
alternative explanations and models, communicate and defend scientific argument,
identify reasons for conducting investigations, and identify reasons for including
technology and mathematics in science research.
RESOURCES
Independent research and study including but not limited to prefaces and first chapters
of introductory and/or general biology, chemistry, and physics textbooks.
