Video Learning Notes

Students learned that environmental changes can cause problems for plants and animals, and that people can design solutions to help. They practiced making claims about the merit of solutions by using evidence from observations and models. Through discussion and model building, students developed skills in scientific and engineering practices and understood the importance of evaluating solutions carefully.

Learning Goals

• Ask questions and define problems related to environmental changes and their effects on plants and animals.
• Plan and conduct investigations or use models to explore how environmental changes affect ecosystems.
• Collect and analyze observations and data about environmental changes and their impact on organisms.
• Develop and use models to represent environmental problems and possible solutions.
• Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused by an environmental change, supporting the claim with evidence.
