MARTONEN- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LESSON PLANS- 12/3/18
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-
TUESDAY-
1. Lab- Johnny Appleseed- read story then research benefits of plants and photosynthesis with chrome books and report ten benefits of plants.
WEDNESDAY-
THURSDAY-
1) Lab 7- evolution- students will use natural selection and 5 rounds of trait selections to see the effect of natural selection on a population.Finish and proceed to lab "to pick or not to pick"
FRIDAY-
1) LAB- “To pick or not to pick”- Students will use four different models of owl beaks in capturing prey and relate to natural selection and evolution of the beak in owls.
2 ) Students will complete procedure on lab sheet and graph results of lab on graph paper.
3) Biodiversity Quiz- lab activity to use group to answer quiz and explain and report answers to class
4) Biodiversity facts- local and global connections.
