Inspirational Quote of the Day: " I have been trying to point out that in our lives chance may have an astonishing influence and, if I may offer advice to the young labratory worker, it would be this- never to neglect an extraordinary appearance or happening." - Alexander Fleming
Objective: Students will learn about Ecology
Standards:
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.
MS-LS2-4 Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations
Ecosystems are dynamic in nature; their characteristics can vary over time. Disruption to any physical or biological component of an ecosystem can lead to shifts in all its populations.
MS-LS2-2 Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
MS-LS2-5 Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services
Biodiversity describes the variety of species found in Earth’s terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. The completeness or integrity of an ecosystem’s biodiversity is often used as a measure of its health.
Changes in biodiversity can influence human resources, such as food, energy and medicines, as well as ecosystem services that humans rely on- for example, water purification and recycling.
There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem.
