Critical Thinking: Evaluate the complex interactions within ecosystems and the role of biodiversity.
Global Citizenship: Understand and advocate for sustainable practices to protect ecosystems.
Responsibility: Recognize and act on the responsibility to reduce human impact on natural systems.
What roles do different organisms (producers, consumers, decomposers) play in an ecosystem?
How does biodiversity contribute to the resilience of ecosystems?
In what ways do human actions impact ecosystems, and how can we mitigate negative effects?
Students will evaluate human impacts on ecosystems and propose solutions for sustainable interactions.
MS-LS2-1: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
HS-LS2-2: Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems.
HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
