By analyzing empirical evidence and constructing scientific arguments, students develop critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of ecosystem dynamics, fulfilling NGSS standard MS-LS2-4.
Learning Goals
- Explain how changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem can affect populations.
- Analyze empirical evidence to support claims about ecosystem changes and their effects on populations.
- Construct oral and written scientific arguments using evidence and reasoning.
- Develop and revise models to represent ecosystem dynamics and population changes.
