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

• Determine the variables that affect the strength and direction of the electric field for a static arrangement of charges.
• Investigate the variables that affect the strength of the electrostatic potential (voltage).
• Explain equipotential lines and compare them to the electric field lines.
• For an arrangement of static charges, predict the electric field lines. Verify the prediction using vector addition.

• Relate the electrostatic force magnitude to the charges and the distance between them
• Explain Newton's third law for electrostatic forces
• Use measurements to determine Coulomb’s constant
• Determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive

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.

Outcomes:

• Design a diet and exercise regimen.
• Estimate the number of calories required for basic survival.
• Estimate the number of calories burned by exercise.
• Explain how heart health depends on diet and exercise.
• Explain how Body Mass Index (BMI) depends on weight and height.

Clarifying some points on evolution and intelligent design.

A force diagram is a useful tool to help us visualise forces acting on an object and gives us informa- tion about the object’s motion. We often use force diagrams when solving calculations involving the forces acting on an object.

• Predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion.
• Explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram.
• Use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa.
• Explain how the graphs relate to one another.
• Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs.

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

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells derive energy from glucose. The chemical reaction for cellular respiration involves glucose and oxygen as inputs, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP) as outputs. There are three stages to cellular respiration: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
