Big Idea Population Dynamics • Population growth follows predictable patterns. • The increased consumption of resources and production of waste associated with population growth result in specific stresses that affect Earth’s sustainability. • Technological developments can contribute to or help offset the ecological footprint associated with population growth and the consumption of natural resources.

Big Idea Homeostasis • Organisms have strict limits on the internal conditions that they can tolerate. • Systems that maintain homeostasis rely on feedback mechanisms. • Environmental factors can affect homeostasis.

Big Idea Molecular Genetics • DNA contains all the genetic information for any living organism. • Proteins control a wide variety of cellular processes. • Genetic research and biotechnology have social, legal, and ethical implications.

Big Idea Metabolic Processes • All metabolic processes involve chemical changes and energy conversions. • An understanding of metabolic processes enables people to make informed choices with respect to a range of personal, societal, and environmental issues.

Big Ideas Biochemistry • Technological applications that affect biological processes and cellular functions are used in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries. • Biological molecules and their chemical properties affect cellular processes and biochemical reactions. • Biochemical compounds play important structural and functional roles in cells of all living organisms.

Big Idea Plants: Anatomy, Growth, and Function • Plants have specialized structures with distinct functions that enable them to respond and adapt to their environment. • Plant variety is critical to the survival and sustainability of ecosystems.

Big Idea Animals: Structure and Function • Groups of organs with specific structures and functions work together as systems, which interact with other systems in the body. • The development and uses of technology to maintain human health are based, in part, on the changing needs of society.

Big Idea Genetic Processes • Genetic and genomic research can have social and environmental implications. • Variability and diversity of living organisms result from the distribution of genetic materials during the process of meiosis (not entirely true)

Big Idea Evolution • Evolution is the process of biological change over time based on the relationships between species and their environments. • The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation based on a large accumulation of evidence. • Technology that enables humans to manipulate the development of species has economic and environmental implications.

Grade 9

Big Idea - People have the responsibility to regulate their impact on the sustainability of ecosystems in order to preserve them for future generations.

Big Ideas - Ecosystems are dynamic and have the ability to respond to change, within limits, while maintaining their ecological balance.
