<p>I skimmed over the integrated science briefly. “Students know proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids.” comes a year after “Students know how to apply the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA.” Really, it should come before, or perhaps it should come about 5 minutes after. There is nothing “integrated” about ripping a lesson into shreds–tearing apart things that are part of the same lesson and teaching them in different years. In addition the combination/progression of topics from chemistry, physics, bio etc, struck me as mish-mash. Not a fan at all, you have my sympathy, californiaa.</p>
