Model global winds, thermohaline circulation, and the interactions between ocean currents and air masses that drive severe weather.

Investigate global carbon flows, watershed processes, soil erosion mechanisms, and anthropogenic impacts on water and climate.

Prepare and observe temporary slide mounts, model organelle functions, and investigate factors affecting enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Identify indicators of chemical change, write balanced chemical equations, and generate and test common gases.

Classify substances particulate-by-particulate and apply experimental techniques to separate mixtures and purify salts.

Classify organisms using taxonomic keys, evaluate five/six-kingdom systems, and model natural and artificial selection over geological time.
