Appendix 1
IL State Standard Implementation:
| Il State Standard | Description of Standard | Explanation of how standard is addressed |
| 11A | Collect and organize data accurately, appropriate metric units, or documenting data accurately from collecting instruments, or graphing data appropriately. | Students will collect and organize data in metric units for their nutritional logs, they will also graph many aspects of this data. |
| 11B | Interpret and represent results of analysis to produce findings, differentiating observations that support or refute a hypothesis, or identifying the unexpected data within the data set, or proposing explanations for discrepancies in the data set. | Addressed in several activities Students through IBD will consistently asked to justify and analyze their results critically. |
| 12A | Communicate the results of design investigation, presenting an oral and/or written report, or explaining the test of the scientific principle, or using available technologies, or relating anecdotal and quantitative observations, or generating additional design modifications which can be tested later. | Students will present their findings and make presentations of hypothesis in all above mentioned activities. |
| 12C | To explore the basic roles of genes and chromosomes in transmitting traits over generations, describing how physical traits are transmitted through sexual or asexual reproductive processes, or charting ‘pedigree' probabilities for transmissions, or identifying examples of selective breeding for particular traits, or analyzing how familiar human diseases are related to genetic mutations. | Objective #4 case studies |
| 12B | To study the impact of multiple factors that affect organisms in a habitat, describing how behaviors are influenced by internal and external factors, or sketching the interrelationships among/between the land, water and air components to life in the system, or predicting the consequences of the disruption of a food pyramid, or identifying the interrelationships and variables that affect population sizes and behaviors, or identifying different niches and relationships found among organisms in an Illinois habitat. | Addressed through curriculum and Objective # 3 |
| 12B | To apply the competitive, adaptive and survival potential of organisms, describing how fossils are used to determine patterns of evolution, or observing how plant and animal characteristics help organisms survive in their environments, or analyzing how environmental factors threaten or enhance the survival potential of populations. | Addressed through curriculum and Objective # 3 |
