UT.CC.RST.11-12.Reading Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects

UT.I.Biology: Students will understand that living organisms interact with one another and their environment.

UT.I.Chemistry: Students will understand that all matter in the universe has a common origin and is made of atoms, which have structure and can be systematically arranged on the periodic table.

UT.I.Earth Systems Science: Students will understand the scientific evidence that supports theories that explain how the universe and solar system developed.

UT.I.Physics: Students will understand how to measure, calculate, and describe the motion of an object in terms of position, time, velocity, and acceleration.

UT.II.Biology: Students will understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells that are made of molecules, come from preexisting cells, and perform life functions.

UT.II.Chemistry: Students will understand the relationship between energy changes in the atom specific to the movement of electrons between energy levels in an atom resulting in the emission or absorption of quantum energy. They will also understand that the em

UT.II.Earth Systems Science: Students will understand that the features of Earth's evolving environment affect living systems, and that life on Earth is unique in the solar system.

UT.II.Physics: Students will understand the relation between force, mass, and acceleration.

UT.III.Biology: Students will understand the relationship between structure and function of organs and organ systems.

UT.III.Chemistry: Students will understand chemical bonding and the relationship of the type of bonding to the chemical and physical properties of substances.

UT.III.Earth Systems Science: Students will understand that gravity, density, and convection move Earth's plates and this movement causes the plates to impact other Earth systems.

UT.III.Physics: Students will understand the factors determining the strength of gravitational and electric forces.

UT.IV.Biology: Students will understand that genetic information coded in DNA is passed from parents to offspring by sexual and asexual reproduction. The basic structure of DNA is the same in all living things. Changes in DNA may alter genetic expression.

UT.IV.Chemistry: Students will understand that in chemical reactions matter and energy change forms, but the amounts of matter and energy do not change.

UT.IV.Earth Systems Science: Students will understand that water cycles through and between reservoirs in the hydrosphere and affects the other spheres of the Earth system.

UT.IV.Physics: Students will understand transfer and conservation of energy.

UT.V.Biology: Students will understand that biological diversity is a result of evolutionary processes.

UT.V.Chemistry: Students will understand that many factors influence chemical reactions and some reactions can achieve a state of dynamic equilibrium.
