NGSS Alignment:

Performance Expectations

HS-LS2-6: Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem.

HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity. 

DCI

LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience

LS4.C: Adaptation

LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans

Crosscutting Concepts
Systems and System Models – students understand that a system is a group of related parts that make up a whole and can carry out functions its individual parts cannot. They can also describe a system in terms of its components and their interactions.

Stability and Change – Much of science deals with constructing explanations of how things change and how they remain stable.

Cause and Effect – Empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and make claims about specific causes and effects
