58
SOUTH DAKOTA SCIENCE STANDARDS LIFE SCIENCE Indicator 2: Analyze various patterns and products of natural and induced biological change. 9-12.L.2.2.

(SYNTHESIS) Examples: behavioral adaptations, environmental pressures, allele variations, bio-diversity Use comparative anatomy to support evolutionary relationships. Recognize and analyze alternative explanations and models. Evaluate the scientific accuracy of information relevant to a specific issue
59
High school students performing at the ADVANCED level: High school students performing at the PROFICIENT level: predict the impact of genetic changes in populations (mutation, natural selection and artificial selection, adaptation/extinction); predict how life systems respond to changes in the environment; High school students performing at the BASIC level: identify DNA as the structure that carries the genetic code; identify that genetic traits can be transmitted from parents to offspring; Core High School LIFE Science Performance Descriptors
