Video Learning Notes
This lesson helps students understand how complex interactions in ecosystems maintain stability in populations and biodiversity under stable conditions, and how disturbances—both natural and human-induced—can lead to changes or new ecosystems. Using mathematical representations and evidence-based reasoning, students evaluate claims about ecosystem dynamics, developing critical scientific skills aligned with NGSS standards HS-LS2-2 and HS-LS2-6.
Learning Goals
- Use mathematical representations to analyze factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
- Evaluate claims, evidence, and reasoning about how complex interactions maintain ecosystem stability under stable conditions.
- Explain how changing conditions can lead to the development of new ecosystems.
