Ohio Science Standards: 

• SWK High School: Various science disciplines use diverse methods to obtain evidence and do not always use the same set of procedures to obtain and analyze data 

• SHE High School: Science depends on curiosity, imagination, creativity and persistence.

• SHE High School: Science and engineering are influenced by technological advances and society; technological advances and society are influenced by science and engineering. 

• ENV.ES.1: Biosphere-Ecosystems (equilibrium, species interactions, stability)

• ENV.ES.1: Biosphere-Population dynamics

• ENV.ES.5: Movement of matter and energy through the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere-Ecosystems  

NGSS Standards: 

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

• HS-LS2-5. Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. 

• HS-LS4-4. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. 

• HS-LS4-5. Evaluate the evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions may result in (1) increases in the number of individuals of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other species.
