Applications of Science 
Measures a student teacher's ability to correlate the themes of unity, structure and function, and diversity to the application of science as a process. Emphasis in ecosystem structure, energy use and storage, food chains/webs

(N/A)

Unity

Minimally Meets Expectations

ST addresses concept but gives little to no explanation or connection through examples
Developing Toward Expectations

ST teacher demonstrates unity in nature through use of simple examples and shows few connections between examples
Meets Expectations

ST demonstrates unity in nature through discussion of energy flow

Examples:
Energy flow through an ecosystem
Energy transfer in a food web
Exceeds Expectations

ST discusses unity in nature with multiple examples that include
symbiotic relationships, research in the area, relevant current events, sample labs, and/or demonstrations
Relationships

Minimally Meets Expectations

ST addresses the fact that energy relationships amongst organisms exist, but with little or no references and 1 to few examples
Developing Toward Expectations

ST addresses the fact that energy relationships exist, and includes few resources and general examples
Meets Expectations

ST emphasizes need for and use of energy despite differences in phylogeny
Exceeds Expectations

ST thoroughly addresses differences in energy uses within each major phylogenitic division
Structure and Function

Minimally Meets Expectations

ST uses vocabulary to describe the process with little or no explanation of connection between structure and function
Developing Toward Expectations

ST uses vocabulary effectively to better demonstrate the connections between structure and function
Meets Expectations

ST uses multiple methods of explanation and description to relate structure and function of energy use

Explains that while energy use is common among all living things, the way it is obtained and used is different
Exceeds Expectations

ST relates these concepts to multiple areas (ex. climate change, invasive species) where structure and function of organisms is impacted by changes in energy sources or conditions in the environment
Learner Outcomes

Minimally Meets Expectations

Students will:
Define a food chain
State that energy is used in all living things
Developing Toward Expectations

Students will:
Describe a food chain with a minimal number of components
State that energy changes occurred during the flow through the food chain
Meets Expectations

Students will:
Describe food chains and the role of each part
Describe the changes in energy that occurred during the flow in a food chain
Exceeds Expectations

Students will:
Compare and contrast food chains and energy flow through multiple examples and application to their lives (ex. predictions of outcomes resulting from global climate change)
