BIOPW.ASA - Biology Pathway Associate in Science and Arts

Students will solve conversion factor style problems (involving label cancellation) and stoichiometric style problems (involving chemical reactions)

Students will choose and apply an appropriate mathematical formula to solve scientific problems in areas such as density, gas laws, molarity, pH and radioactivity

Students will collect experimental data in chemistry lab, and analyze data from laboratory experiments or online homework problems

Student will demonstrate core knowledge of evolution, structure, function. Information flow and storage of living things,

Student will understand pathways, transformation of energy and matter, systems and the process of science.

Focus on aspects of theory of evolution.

Focus on the relationship between structure and function in living systems.\

Information flow, exchange, and storage: Focus on information flow, exchange, and storage, which encompasses the maintenance, expression, and replication of genertic information.

Pathways and transformations of energy and matter: Focus on growth and change in biological systems as a product of chemical transformations.

Systems: Concept that living systems are interconnected and interacting and includes use of mathematical, computational, and physical science tools to develop models that can predict and claify understanding of biological processes.

Process of science: Providing students with opportunities to practice formulating hypotheses, testing them experimentally our observationally, and analyzing the results.

Students will name chemical compounds and decipher chemical formulas All chemistry students will differentiate acids, bases, salts, and binary covalent compounds. Organic students, in addition, will differentiate carbon-basedfunctional groups including alcohols, ketones, amines and esters.

Students will correlate the position of an element on the periodic table to the elements properties such as: classification (metal vs. nonmetal), extent of chemical reactivity, number of valence electrons, and range of oxidation numbers

Students will visualize the concept of a mole (602 billion trillion things), and will extract data from the periodic table of elements to convert between moles and grams

Students will differentiate physical from chemical processes, and write chemical reactions and balance chemical equations
