Biodiversity
Essential Question:
How do feral cat populations affect the stability and biodiversity of local ecosystems? Learning Objective: I can use graphs as supportive evidence of the effects of various factors on biodiversity in an ecosystem. Standards addressed: HS-LS2-2. Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales. 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. |
