The following Engineering, Technology, and Application of Science (ETS) Performance Expectations may be taught within any unit or semester: HS-ETS1-1, HS-ETS1-2, HS-ETS1-3, HS-ETS1-4 NOTE: These Performance Expectations have not been identified in the list of standards to be tested on the Nevada End of Course (EOC) for Life Science.
HS-LS2-7 * Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity HS-LS2-8 Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce. HS-LS4-6 * Create or revise a simulation to test a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity. HS-LS2-3 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. HS-LS2-4 Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy organisms in an ecosystem. HS-LS2-5 Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. HS-LS3-3 Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. HS-LS4-3 Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that organisms with an advantageous heritable trait tend to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait. HS-LS4-4 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. HS-LS4-5 Evaluate the evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions may result in: (1) increases in the number of individuals of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other species. The following Engineering, Technology, and Application of Science (ETS) Performance Expectations may be taught within any unit or semester: HS-ETS1-1, HS-ETS1-2, HS-ETS1-3, HS-ETS1-4 NOTE: These Performance Expectations have not been identified in the list of standards to be tested on the Nevada End of Course (EOC) for Life Science.
