Monday
Standard(s):
SB5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the interdependence of all organisms on one another and their environment.
c. Construct an argument to predict the impact of environmental change on the stability of an ecosystem.
LT:
We are learning to predict the impact of environmental change on the stability of an ecosystem.
SC: (I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Investigate and model human activities that impact the stability of an ecosystem
Investigate and model natural changes that impact the stability of an ecosystem
Explain the stages of primary succession
Describe a climax community
Compare primary succession and secondary succession

Tuesday
Standard(s):
SB5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the interdependence of all organisms on one another and their environment.
d. Design a solution to reduce the impact of a human activity on the environment. (Clarification statement: Human activities may include chemical use, natural resources consumption, introduction of non-native species, greenhouse gas production.) e. Construct explanations that predict an organism’s ability to survive within changing environmental limits (e.g., temperature, pH, drought, fire)
e. Construct explanations that predict an organism’s ability to survive within changing environmental limits (e.g., temperature, pH, drought, fire).
LT:
We are learning about how to reduce the impact of human activity on the environment
We are learning how organisms survive within changing environmental limits

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Identify and analyze human activities that negatively impact the environment (resource consumption, fossil fuels, agriculture practices, non-native species, urbanization)
Explain how agriculture practices, such as fertilizer runoff, impacts the environment.
Explain how use of fossil fuels can negatively impact the environment
Explain how non-native species can be introduced to an environment (intentional and accidental introductions)
Explain how urbanization can negatively impact the environment
Design solutions to solve a specific problem in the environment caused by human activities
Analyze and predict an organism’s survivability in changing conditions like soil pH, drought, fire, temperature
Identify examples of various tropisms
Identify ways in which plants undergo adaptations in order to survive
Identify mechanical and chemical defenses
Migration
Inherited behavior

Wednesday
Standard(s):
SB6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the theory of evolution.
d. Develop and use mathematical models to support explanations of how undirected genetic changes in natural selection and genetic drift have led to changes in populations of organisms. (Clarification statement: Element is intended to focus on basic statistical and graphic analysis. Hardy Weinberg would be an optional application to address this element.)
LT:
We are learning to develop and use math models to explain genetic changes in a population of organisms.

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Recall the two requirements for natural selection to occur
Recall the 4 factors for evolution to occur
Describe and utilize the terms; selecting agent, undirected genetic change, variation
Identify and describe the 3 types of Natural Selection
Directional selection
Stabilizing selection
Disruptive selection

Describe genetic drift
Identify the two types of genetic drift
Identify and explain an example of Founder Effect
Identify and explain an example of Bottleneck Effect
