Unit 3

Standards Addressed: Infinite Campus sequence 3

3.1 LS2-1 Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales

3.2 LS2-3 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

3.3 PS1-1 Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

3.4 ESS1-3 Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements.

3.5 LS2-4 Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem

3.6 ESS2-4 Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.

3.7 ESS2-7 Construct an argument based on evidence about the simultaneous coevolution of Earth’s systems and life on Earth.
