Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learned that habitats provide the conditions organisms need to survive. Some organisms are well adapted to their habitats and survive well, others survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. By observing organisms and habitats, collecting data, and using evidence, students constructed arguments explaining survival differences. They also explored how environmental changes can impact which organisms survive in an ecosystem.

Learning Goals

• Ask questions and make observations about organisms and their habitats.
• Use tools and models to observe and collect data about organisms in a habitat.
• Collect and organize data to identify which organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in a habitat.
• Construct an argument supported by evidence about organism survival in a specific habitat.
• Communicate explanations and listen to others' evidence-based arguments respectfully.
