3-LS4
Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
How do organisms adapt to survive in their environments?
Adaptive Perseverance: Understand how species adapt to changing environments.
Global Citizenship: Appreciate biodiversity and the role of adaptation in ecosystems.
Critical Thinking: Investigate how adaptations influence the survival of organisms.
What are adaptations, and why are they important for survival?
How do different environments influence the adaptations of organisms?
How can changes in the environment lead to changes in species over time?
Students will explain how adaptations help organisms survive in specific environments.
Students will analyze how environmental changes can affect species.
Next Gen Science Standards 3-LS4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
3-LS4-1. Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
3-LS4-2. Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.
3-LS4-3. Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
3-LS4-4. Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
