MARTONEN- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LESSON PLANS- 4/8/19
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. Lab- zinc mining and reserves- students will perform a procedure to determine when the world supply of zinc will be exhausted according to current
supply and demand, students will graph results and answer analysis questions for a grade.
2. Ch12 notes- finish and relate to lab
