Chapter 6

Standards:

HS LS 2-2: use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.

HS LS 2-6: evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem.

HS LS 2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.

HS LS 4-6: Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.

HS ESS 3-4: Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.
