MARTONEN- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LESSON PLANS- 11/12/18
MICHIGAN SCIENCE STANDARDS ADDRESSED
HS-LS2-1 Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales.
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. **
HS-LS2-7 Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.* **
HS-LS2-8 Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.
HS-LS4-6 Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity. **
HS-LS2-5 Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. **
MONDAY-
1. Ecosystem jar project- observation #7- students will perform procedure in project booklet and complete written parts- add/delete items in their jar.
2. Chapter 5 review- due Wednesday
TUESDAY-
1. Ecosystem Jar final observation and assessment day in booklet- one last week to make changes before final chemical tests next week and final lab
report is assigned. This class period is dedicated to making as many microscope sketches and identifications as possible as per the project goal- create
a closed ecosystem with as many food chains and trophic levels as possible.
2. Finish Chapter 5 review
WEDNESDAY-
THURSDAY-
FRIDAY-
1. Lab- Johnny Appleseed- read story then research benefits of plants and photosynthesis with chrome books and report ten benefits of plants.
2. Ch 6 review due 11/22
