Feel free to make corrections, clarifications, and additions. - - - = Strand I: Energy Transformations = - - D 1. Describe the effects of adding energy to matter in terms of the motion of atoms and molecules, and the resulting phase changes. - D 2. Explain how energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. - D 3. Describe energy transformations among heat, light, electricity and motion. - D 4. Explain the relationship among voltage, current and resistance in a simple series circuit. - D 5. Explain how electricity is used to produce heat and light in incandescent bulbs and heating elements. - D 6. Describe the relationship between current and magnetism. - D 7. Explain how heat is used to generate electricity. - D 8. Describe the availability, current uses and environmental issues related to the use of fossil and nuclear fuels to produce electricity. - D 9. Describe the availability, current uses and environmental issues related to the use of hydrogen fuel cells, wind and solar energy to produce electricity. - - - = Strand II: Chemical Structures and Properties = - - D 10. Describe the general structure of the atom, and explain how the properties of the first 20 elements in the Periodic Table are related to their atomic structures. - D 11. Describe how atoms combine to form new substances by transferring electrons (ionic bonding) or sharing electrons (covalent bonding). - D 12. Explain the chemical composition of acids and bases, and explain the change of pH in neutralization reactions. - D 13. Explain how the structure of the carbon atom affects the type of bonds it forms in organic and inorganic molecules. - D 14. Describe combustion reactions of hydrocarbons and their resulting by-products. - D 15. Explain the general formation and structure of carbon-based polymers, including synthetic polymers, such as polyethylene, and biopolymers, such as carbohydrate. - D 16. Explain how simple chemical monomers can be combined to create linear, branched and/or cross- linked polymers. - D 17. Explain how the chemical structure of polymers affects their physical properties. - D 18. Explain the short- and long-term impacts of landfills and incineration of waste materials on the quality of the environment. - - - = Strand III: Global Interdependence = - - D 19. Explain how chemical and physical processes cause carbon to cycle through the major earth reservoirs. - D 20. Explain how solar energy causes water to cycle through the major earth reservoirs. - D 21. Explain how internal energy of the Earth causes matter to cycle through the magma and the solid earth. - D 22. Explain how the release of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere can form acid rain, and how acid rain affects water sources, organisms and human-made structures. - D 23. Explain how the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere increases Earth’s “greenhouse” effect and may cause climate changes. - D 24. Explain how the accumulation of mercury, phosphates and nitrates affects the quality of water and the organisms that live in rivers, lakes and oceans. - D 25. Explain how land development, transportation options and consumption of resources may affect the environment. - D 26. Describe human efforts to reduce the consumption of raw materials and improve air and water quality. - - - = Strand IV: Cell Chemistry and Biotechnology = - - D 27. Describe significant similarities and differences in the basic structure of plant and animal cells. - D 28. Describe the general role of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis. - D 29. Describe the general role of enzymes in metabolic cell processes. - D 30. Explain the role of the cell membrane in supporting cell functions. - D 31. Describe the similarities and differences between bacteria and viruses. - D 32. Describe how bacterial and viral infectious diseases are transmitted, and explain the roles of sanitation, vaccination and antibiotic medications in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. - D 33. Explain how bacteria and yeasts are used to produce foods for human consumption. - D 34. Describe, in general terms, how the genetic information of organisms can be altered to make them produce new materials. - D 35. Explain the risks and benefits of altering the genetic composition and cell products of existing organisms. - - - = Strand V: Genetics, Evolution and Biodiversity = - - D 36. Explain how meiosis contributes to the genetic variability of organisms. - D 37. Use the Punnet Square technique to predict the distribution of traits in mono- and di- hybrid crossings. - D 38.

Describe the difference between genetic disorders and infectious diseases. - D 40. Explain how the processes of genetic mutation and natural selection are related to the evolution of species. - D 41. Explain how the current theory of evolution provides a scientific explanation for fossil records of ancient life forms. - D 42. Describe how structural and behavioral adaptations increase the chances for organisms to survive in their environments. - D 43. Describe the factors that affect the carrying capacity of the environment. - D 44. Explain how change in population density is affected by emigration, immigration, birth rate and death rate, and relate these factors to the exponential growth of human populations. - D 45. Explain how technological advances have affected the size and growth rate of human populations throughout history.	+ \|\|<tablebgcolor="pink">You probably want to go to the ["create a wiki"] page and create a wiki for CAPT-science there.
