Grade 12: Science

Start with a unit whose prerequisites fit. Work through the lessons, use the study guide to review, and try the new cases before continuing.

  1. Unit 1 · 4 lessons

    Exponential decay, uncertainty, and model inference

    Apply half-life models, interpret probabilistic counts, and infer a rate from bounded evidence.

    Before you begin: Use exponents and fractions; distinguish amount, expectation, and exact individual counts.

  2. Unit 2 · 4 lessons

    Stars, Spectra and the Universe

    Use astronomical evidence with careful scale and inference.

    Before you begin: Read or listen to supplied scientific descriptions and follow a labeled diagram. · Use signed quantities, ratios, exponents and the explicitly supplied model formulas.

  3. Unit 3 · 4 lessons

    Earth Energy and Climate Feedback

    Account for energy pathways and distinguish feedback from simple correlation.

    Before you begin: Read or listen to supplied scientific descriptions and follow a labeled diagram. · Use signed quantities, ratios, exponents and the explicitly supplied model formulas.

  4. Unit 4 · 4 lessons

    Sustainability and Resource Accounting

    Compare resource options using boundaries, units and lifecycle tradeoffs.

    Before you begin: Read or listen to supplied scientific descriptions and follow a labeled diagram. · Use signed quantities, ratios, exponents and the explicitly supplied model formulas.

  5. Unit 5 · 4 lessons

    Engineering Optimization and Robustness

    Rank feasible models and test how assumptions affect a choice.

    Before you begin: Read or listen to supplied scientific descriptions and follow a labeled diagram. · Use signed quantities, ratios, exponents and the explicitly supplied model formulas.

  6. Unit 6 · 4 lessons

    Scientific Evidence and Capstone Design

    Build a reproducible bounded scientific explanation and design proposal.

    Before you begin: Read or listen to supplied scientific descriptions and follow a labeled diagram. · Use signed quantities, ratios, exponents and the explicitly supplied model formulas.

The subject test uses additional supplied cases across these units. Its feedback links back to the relevant lessons. Use it to plan practice; a score on these questions is not a school grade or proof of complete subject mastery.
