Patterns and processes of evolution. How evolution and natural selection are reflected in the similarities and differences of organisms. 

Outcomes:

• Describe how the concept of density relates to an object's mass and volume.
• Explain how objects of similar mass can have differing volume, and how objects of similar volume can have differing mass.
• Explain why changing an object's mass or volume does not affect its density (ie, understand density as an intensive property).
• Measure the volume of an object by observing the amount of fluid it displaces.
• Identify an unknown material by calculating its density and comparing to a table of known densities.

Clarifying some points on evolution and intelligent design.

This online article delves into our the sun and planets were formed.

Overview of fertilisation and early human development. From conception leading to a zygote to blastocyst, embryo and fetus.

These four short online lessons will cover the following:

• The planets of the solar system
• Planet orbits in the solar system
• Gravity in the solar system
• Inner vs outer planets

Food webs are models that demonstrate how matter and energy is transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. Transfers of matter into and out of the physical environment occur at every level. Decomposers recycle nutrients from dead plant or animal matter back to the soil in terrestrial environments or to the water in aquatic environments. The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem.

Mitosis is how cells divide! Learn what happens in all the phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
