Life Sciences, Grade 9
Curriculum - science
This module supports science students’ close reading, modeling, explanation, and argumentation practices while building their knowledge of evolution, microbes, and antibiotic resistance. The MRSA investigation materials include an interactive notebook with integrated routines, scaffolds, and tasks; a set of texts presenting engaging news stories, data, and science principles; an annotated teacher guide; and additional supports for science discourse and argumentation. The high school MRSA investigation may be used subsequent to the Reading Science Models module and the Homoeostasis investigation to provide more extensive opportunities to learn.
