    WelcomeThis guide was developed to assist teachers in successullyimplementing the Michigan Merit Curriculum. The identied contentexpectations and guidelines provide a useul ramework or designing

    curriculum, assessments and relevant learning experiences or students.Through the collaborative eorts o Governor Jennier M. Granholm,the State Board o Education, and the State Legislature, these landmarkstate graduation requirements are being implemented to give Michiganstudents the knowledge and skills to succeed in the 21st Century anddrive Michigans economic success in the global economy. Workingtogether, teachers can explore varied pathways to help studentsdemonstrate prociency in meeting the content expectations and

    guidelines. This guide should be used in conjunction with the HighSchool Content Expectations document or the discipline.

    Curriculum Unit DesignOne o the ultimate goals o teaching is or students to acquire

    transerable knowledge. To accomplish this, learning needs to

    result in a deep understanding o content and mastery level o skills.

    As educational designers, teachers must use both the art and the

    science o teaching. In planning coherent, rigorous instructional unitso study, it is best to begin with the end in mind.

    Engaging and eective units include

    appropriate content expectations

    students setting goals and monitoring own progress

    RelevanceInstruction that is clearly relevant to todays rapidly changing world is atthe oreront o unit design. Content knowledge cannot by itsel lead allstudents to academic achievement. Classes and projects that sparkstudent interest and provide a rationale or why the content is worthlearning enable students to make connections between what they readand learn in school, their lives, and their utures. An engaging andeective curriculum provides opportunities or exploration and exposureto new ideas. Real-world learning experiences provide students withopportunities to transer and apply knowledge in new, diverse situations.

    Student Assessment

    The assessment process can be a powerul tool or learning whenstudents are actively involved in the process. Both assessment olearning and assessment orlearning are essential. Reliable ormative andsummative assessments provide teachers with inormation they needto make inormed instructional decisions that are more responsiveto students needs. Engagement empowers students totake ownership o their learning and builds condence over time.

    Sound assessments:

    align with learning goals

    vary in type and ormat

    use authentic perormance tasks

    use criteria-scoring tools such as rubrics or exemplars

    allow teachers and students to track growth over time

    validate the acquisition o transerable knowledge

    give insight into students thinking processes cause students to use higher level thinking skills

    address guiding questions and identied skills and processes

    provide inormative eedback or teachers and students

    ask students to refect on their learning

    Why Develop Content Standards and

    Expectations or High School?To prepare Michigans students with the knowledge and skills tosucceed in the 21st Century, the State o Michigan has enacted

    a rigorous new set o statewide graduation requirements thatare among the best in the nation. These requirements, called theMichigan Merit Curriculum, are the result o a collaborative eortbetween Governor Jennier M. Granholm, the State Board oEducation, and the State Legislature.

    In preparation or the implementation o the new high schoolgraduation requirements, the Michigan Department o EducationsOce o School Improvement is leading the development o high

    school content expectations. An Academic Work Group o scienceexperts chaired by nationally known scholars was commissionedto conduct a scholarly review and identiy content standards andexpectations. The Michigan Department o Education conducted anextensive eld review o the expectations by high school, university,and business and industry representatives.

    The Michigan High School Science Content Expectations (Science HSCE)establish what every student is expected to know and be able to doby the end o high school and dene the expectations or high schoolscience credit in Earth Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.

    An OverviewIn developing these expectations, the Academic Work Group dependedheavily on the Science Framework or the 2009 National Assessment oEducational Progress (National Assessment Governing Board, 2006).

    In particular, the group adapted the structure o the NAEP ramework,including Content Statements and Perormance Expectations. Theseexpectations align closely with the NAEP ramework, which is basedon Benchmarks or Science Literacy(AAAS Project 2061, 1993) and theNational Science Education Standards (National Research Council, 1996).

    The Academic Work Group careully analyzed other documents,including the Michigan Curriculum Framework Science Benchmarks(2000 revision), the Standards or Success report Understanding

    University Success, ACTs College Readiness Standards, College BoardsAP Biology, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, andAP Environmental ScienceCourse Descriptions, ACTs On Course or Success, South RegionalEducation Boards Getting Ready or College-Preparatory/HonorsScience: What Middle Grades Students Need to Know and Be Able to

    Do, and standards documents rom other states.

    Useul and Connected Knowledge or

    All StudentsThis document denes expectations or Michigan High Schoolgraduates, organized by discipline: Earth Science, Biology, Physics,

    and Chemistry. It denes useul andconnected knowledgeat our levels:

    Prerequisite knowledgeUseul and connected knowledge that all students should bring as aprerequisite to high school science classes. Prerequisite expectationcodes include a p and an upper case letter (e.g., E3.p1A).Prerequisite content could be assessed through ormative and/orlarge scale assessments.

    Essential knowledgeUseul and connected knowledge or all high school graduates,regardless o what courses they take in high school. Essentialexpectation codes include an upper case letter (e.g., E2.1A).Essential content knowledge and perormance expectations arerequired or graduation and are assessable on the Michigan MeritExam (MME) and on uture secondary credit assessments. Essential

    knowledge can also be assessed with ormative assessments. Core knowledge

    Useul and connected knowledge or all high school graduateswho have completed a discipline-specic course. In general coreknowledge includes content and expectations that students needto be prepared or more advanced study in that discipline. Corecontent statement codes include an x and core expectationcodes include a lower case letter (e.g., B2.2x Proteins; B2.2f)

    to indicate that they are NOT assessable on existing large-scale assessments (MME, NAEP), but will be assessed on uturesecondary credit assessments. Core knowledge can also beassessed with ormative assessments.

    Recommended knowledge

    Useul and connected knowledge that is desirable as preparationor more advanced study in the discipline, but not required

    or graduation credit. Content and expectations labeled asrecommended represent extensions o the core. Recommendedcontent statement codes include an r and an x; recommendedexpectations include an r and a lower case letter (e.g., P4.r9xNature of Light; P4.r9a). They will not be assessed on either theMME or secondary credit assessments.

    Useul and connected knowledge is contrasted withproceduraldisplaylearning to manipulate words and symbols without ullyunderstanding their meaning. When expectations are excessive,procedural display is the kind o learning that takes place. Teachersand students cover the content instead o uncovering useul andconnected knowledge.

    Credit or high school Earth Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry willbe defned as meeting both essential and core subject area contentexpectations.

    Identiying Science PrinciplesThis category ocuses on students abilities to recall, dene, relate,and represent basic science principles. The content statementsthemselves are oten closely related to one another conceptually.

    Moreover, the science principles included in the content statementscan be represented in a variety o orms, such as words, pictures,graphs, tables, ormulas, and diagrams (AAAS, 1993; NRC, 1996).Identiying practices include describing, measuring, or classiyingobservations; stating or recognizing principles included in thecontent statements; connecting closely related content statements;and relating dierent representations o science knowledge.

    Identiying Science Principles comprises theollowing general types o practices:

    Describe, measure, or classiy observations (e.g., describe theposition and motion o objects, measure temperature, classiyrelationships between organisms as being predator/prey, parasite/host, producer/consumer).

    State or recognize correct science principles (e.g., mass is

    conserved when substances undergo changes o state; allorganisms are composed o cells; the atmosphere is a mixture onitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases that include water vapor).

    Demonstrate relationships among closely related science principles(e.g., statements o Newtons three laws o motion, energytranser and the water cycle).

    Demonstrate relationships among dierent representations o

    principles (e.g., verbal, symbolic, diagrammatic) and data patterns(e.g., tables, equations, graphs).

    Identiying Science Principles is integral to all o the other sciencepractices.

    Using Science PrinciplesScientic knowledge is useul or making sense o the naturalworld. Both scientists and inormed citizens can use patternsin observations and theoretical models to predict and explain

    observations that they make now or that they will make in the uture.

    Using Science Principles comprises the ollowing

    general types o perormance expectations:

    Explain observations o phenomena (using science principles romthe content statements).

    Predict observations o phenomena (using science principles rom

    the content statements, including quantitative predictions basedon science principles that speciy quantitative relationships amongvariables).

    Suggest examples o observations that illustrate a science principle(e.g., identiy examples where the net orce on an object is zero;provide examples o observations explained by the movement otectonic plates; given partial DNA sequences o organisms, identiylikely sequences o close relatives).

    Propose, analyze, and evaluate alternative explanations orpredictions.

    The rst two categoriesIdentiying Science Principles andUsing Science Principlesboth require students to correctlystate or recognize the science principles contained in the contentstatements. A dierence between the categories is that Using SciencePrinciples ocuses on what makes science knowledge valuablethat

    is, its useulness in making accurate predictions about phenomenaand in explaining observations o the natural world in coherentways (i.e., knowing why). Distinguishingbetween these twocategories draws attention to dierences in depth and richnesso individuals knowledge o the content statements. Assuminga continuum rom just knowing the acts to using scienceprinciples, there is considerable overlap at the boundaries. Theline between the Identiying and Using categories is not distinct.

    Scientic InquiryScientically literate graduates make observations about the natural world,identiy patterns in data, and propose explanations to account or thepatterns. Scientic inquiry involves the collection o relevant data, the

    use o logical reasoning, and the application o imagination in devisinghypotheses to explain patterns in data. Scientic inquiry is a complex

    and time-intensive process that is iterative rather than linear. Habits

    o mindcuriosity, openness to new ideas, inormed skepticismare

    part o scientic inquiry. This includes the ability to read or listen criticallyto assertions in the media, deciding what evidence to pay attention toand what to dismiss, and distinguishing careul arguments rom shoddyones. Thus, Scientic Inquiry depends on the practices described

    aboveIdentiying Science Principles and Using Science Principles.

    Scientic Inquiry comprises the ollowing general types o

    perormance expectations:

    Generate new questions that can be investigated in the laboratoryor eld.

    Evaluate the uncertainties or validity o scientic conclusions using anunderstanding o sources o measurement error, the challenges ocontrolling variables, accuracy o data analysis, logic o argument, logic oexperimental design, and/or the dependence on underlying assumptions.

    Conduct scientic investigations using appropriate tools andtechniques (e.g., selecting an instrument that measures the desiredquantitylength, volume, weight, time interval, temperaturewiththe appropriate level o precision).

    Identiy patterns in data and relate them to theoretical models.

    Describe a reason or a given conclusion using evidence rom aninvestigation.

    Predict what would happen i the variables, methods, or timing o aninvestigation were changed.

    Based on empirical evidence, explain and critique the reasoning usedto draw a scientic conclusion or explanation.

    Design and conduct a systematic scientic investigation that tests a

    hypothesis. Draw conclusions rom data presented in charts or tables.

    Distinguish between scientic explanations that are regarded ascurrent scientic consensus and the emerging questions that activeresearchers investigate.

    Scientic inquiry is more complex than simply making, summarizing,and explaining observations, and it is more fexible than the rigid seto steps oten reerred to as the scientic method. The NationalStandards makes it clear that inquiry goes beyond science as a process

    to include an understanding o the nature o science (p. 105).It is part o scientic inquiry to evaluate the results o scienticinvestigations, experiments, observations, theoretical models, and theexplanations proposed by other scientists. Evaluation includes reviewingthe experimental procedures, examining the evidence, identiying aultyreasoning, pointing out statements that go beyond the evidence, andsuggesting alternative explanations or the same observations (p. 171).

    When students engage in Scientic Inquiry, they are drawing

    on their understanding about the nature o science, including

    the ollowing ideas (see Benchmarks or Science Literacy):

    Arguments are fawed when act and opinion are intermingled or theconclusions do not ollow logically rom the evidence given.

    A single example can never support the inerence that somethingis always true, but sometimes a single example can support theinerence that something is not always true.

    I more than one variable changes at the same time in an experiment ,the outcome o the experiment may not be clearly attributable to anyone o the variables.

    The way in which a sample is drawn aects how well it represents thepopulation o interest. The larger the sample, the smaller the errorin inerence to the population. But, large samples do not necessarily

    guarantee representation, especially in the absence o randomsampling.

    MICHIGAN MERIT CURRICULUM COURSE/CREDIT REQUIREMENTS 10.6

    Students can demonstrate their abilities to engage in ScienticInquiry in two ways: students can do the practices speciedabove, and students can critique examples o scientic inquiry. Indoing, practices can include analyzing data tables and decidingwhich conclusions are consistent with the data. Other practicesinvolve hands-on perormance and/or interactive computertasksor example, where students collect data and present theirresults or where students speciy experimental conditions oncomputer simulations and observe the outcomes. As to critiquing,students can identiy faws in a poorly designed investigation orsuggest changes in the design in order to produce more reliabledata. Students should also be able to critique print or electronic

    mediaor example, items may ask students to suggest alternativeinterpretations o data described in a newspaper article.

    Scientic Refection and Social

    ImplicationsScientically literate people recognize the strengths and limitationso scientic knowledge, which will provide the perspective they

    need to use the inormation to solve real-world problems. Studentsmust learn to decide who and what sources o inormation theycan trust. They need to learn to critique and justiy their ownideas and the ideas o others. Since knowledge comes rommany sources, students need to appreciate the historical originso modern science and the multitude o connections betweenscience and other disciplines. Students need to understand howscience and technology support one another and the political,

    economic, and environmental consequences o scientic andtechnological progress. Finally, it is important that the ideas andcontributions o men and women rom all cultures be recognizedas having played a signicant role in scientic communities.

    Scientic Refection and Social Implications include the ollowinggeneral types o practices, all o which entail students usingscience knowledge to:

    Critique whether or not specic questions can be answered throughscientic investigations.

    Identiy and critique arguments about personal or societal issuesbased on scientic evidence.

    Develop an understanding o a scientic concept by accessinginormation rom multiple sources. Evaluate the scientic accuracyand signicance o the inormation.

    Evaluate scientic explanations in a peer review process or

    discussion ormat. Evaluate the uture career and occupational prospects o science elds.

    Critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientic constraints.

    Identiy scientic tradeos in design decisions and choose amongalternative solutions.

    Describe the distinctions between scientic theories, laws,hypotheses, and observations.

    Explain the progression o ideas and explanations that lead toscience theories that are part o the current scientic consensus orcore knowledge.

    Apply science principles or scientic data to anticipate eects otechnological design decisions.

    Analyze how science and society interact rom a historical, political,economic, or social perspective.

    Organization o the Expectations

    The Science Expectations are organized into Disciplines, Standards,Content Statements, and specic Perormance Expectations.

    DisciplinesEarth Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry

    Organization o Each StandardEach standard includes three parts :

    A standard statement that describes what students who havemastered that standard will be able to do.

    Content statements that describe Prerequisite, Essential, Core, and

    Recommended science content understanding or that standard. Perormance expectations that describe Prerequisite, Essential,

    Core, and Recommended perormances or that standard.

    NOTE: Boundary statements that clariy the standards and set limits or

    expected perormances, technical vocabulary, and additional discipline-

    specic inquiry and refection expectations will be included in a companion

    document to be developed at a later date.

    Standard StatementThe Standard Statement describes how students who meet that standardwill engage in Identiying, Using, Inquiry, or Refection or that topic.

    Content StatementsContent statements describe the Prerequisite, Essential, Core, andRecommended knowledge associated with the standard.

    Performance ExpectationsPerormance expectations are derived rom the intersection ocontent statements and practices.

    Perormance expectations are written with particular verbs indicatingthe desired perormance expected o the student. The action verbsassociated with each practice are contextualized to generateperormance expectations. For example, when the conduct scientic

    investigations is crossed with a states-o-matter content statement,this can generate a perormance expectation that employs a dierentaction verb, heats as a way to evaporate liquids.

    CHEMISTRY (C)

    Properties of matter

    All objects and substances in the natural world are composed o matter.

    All matter has two undamental properties: matter takes up space, and

    matter has intertia it changes motion only when under the infuence

    o a non-zero net orce. Matter can be characterized in terms o its

    physical and chemical properties. These properties can be explained

    through the particulate model o matter, which describes the particles

    as atoms or molecules that are continuously in motion. The extent o

    the motion can be used to explain the physical properties associated

    with the common states o matter, solid, liquid and gas, as well as the

    changes o state. Whether or not a particular substance will exist as a

    solid, liquid or a gas will depend on the orce due to particle motion in

    comparison to the orce o attraction between particles. The attractive

    orces between particles are explained by the detailed structure o

    molecules and the atoms that compose them.

    The structure o an atom in terms o its component protons, neutrons

    and electrons provides the basis or a systematic description o the

    building blocks o matter and their organization in the Periodic Table

    o the Elements. The Periodic Table demonstrates the relationship

    between the number o protons in an element, which is the dening

    characteristic o each element, and the chemical and physical properties

    o the elements. The Periodic Table also provides a structure or inquiry

    into the characteristics o the elements, since the electronic structure

    o atoms is refected in the arrangement o elements in the Periodic

    Table. It is the electronic structure o atoms, especially the outermost

    electrons, that explains the chemical properties o elements and the

    breaking and making o bonds between atoms in a chemical reaction. An

    understanding o the bonding between elements leads to the concept

    o molecules as particles with specic combinations o atoms. When

    a substance consists o only one type o molecule it is reerred to as a

    compound, with each compound having unique chemical and physical pr

    operties due to the detailed structure o its component molecules.

    Changes in matter

    As a general principle, a great deal o understanding chemistry is in

    dierentiating what Nobelist Roald Homann detly labeled as the

    same and not the same. Chemistry is lled with comparisons that

    all under this rubric. Isomerism, or instance, is built on this idea.Molecules have the same molecular ormula, but have completely

    dierent properties (ethyl acetate and butyric acid). In photo- or

    thermal isomerization reactions, what constitutes the starting material

    and the product dierent on the basis o some observable property

    because here, too, the molecular ormulas are the same. We create

    alse dichotomies or the convenience o categorization (physical

    properties versus chemical properties, ionic versus covalent bonding),yet when you dissolve blue cobalt chloride in water, and the solution

    turns pick, it is hard to argue dissolving is a simple act o physical

    change.

    Are polymorphous crystalline orms that dierent? There are real

    property dierences that we would traditionally include as chemical

    changes (spectroscopic dierences, or instance). Is dissolving sodium

    chloride in water and then evaporating the water to get it back thatdierent? Not really. Ionic networks or lattices are complex structures

    with billions and billions o degenerate isomeric orms. Add a sample

    o radio-labeled sodium chloride to a dierently-labeled sample;

    crystallization accomplishes a cross-over experiment no matter how

    you look at it.

    Changes in matter then, are not simple binary classications, but

    derived rom dening what is changing and the criteria by which thosechanges are judged, particularly those properties that are used to

    make the decision about what sort o change has taken place. A useul

    concept that helps sort through these relationships is material kind,

    a term that us used when a substance is made up o a homogenous

    aggregate o atomic or molecular species (macroscopic liquid water

    is a material kind, and dierentiates it rom the matter molecular

    water: HOH that comprises it). Solid water and liquid water aredierent material kinds, while the matter that makes them up is the

    same.

    Forms of energy

    From the chemical perspective it is critical that the student understand

    the role o energy in the breaking and ormation o chemical bonds,

    since bond breaking/making is the undamental process in a chemical

    reaction. Potential energy is stored energy resulting rom theattraction between two objects. Students commonly only understand

    gravitational potential energy. Just as the orce o gravity results in

    potential energy changes as objects are moved relative to the earth,

    there are changes in potential energy when any particles held by a

    orce (gravitational, electrical, magnetic, strong) are moved relative to

    each other. Chemical bonds are the result o a decrease in potential

    energy rom the increased electrostatic attractions between atoms.Chemical bonds will not orm unless there is a decrease in potential

    energy compared to the unbonded state. The strength o a chemical

    bond is directly proportional to the energy released when the bond

    orms rom the separated gaseous atoms (ions). Breaking a chemical

    bond always requires energy to overcome the attractive orces

    holding the particle (ions, atoms, molecules) together. At grade 8

    the student should be able to describe physical changes (changeso state, dissolving) in terms o rearranging the atoms, molecules or

    ions). At grade 12 the student should be able to describe chemical

    changes in terms o bond making and bond breaking to demonstrate

    a deeper understanding o the term chemical potential energy.

    Energy transformations

    The transer o energy and the conservation o energy are o greatexplanatory and predictive value. Let on their own all systems

    will naturally move to a state o minimum energy and maximum

    randomness. Application o these two driving orces coupled with

    the conservation o matter and energy will allow students to explain

    and predict most chemical phenomena. Students will understand the

    tremendous energy released in nuclear reactions is a result o small

    amounts o matter being converted to energy.
