MARTONEN- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LESSON PLANS- 9/9/19
MICHIGAN COURSE CONTENT STANDARDS ADDRESSED
HS-LS1-5: Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.
HS-LS1-6: Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.
HS-LS1-7: Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy.
HS-LS2-3: Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
HS-LS2-4: Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. **
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. **
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.* **
MONDAY-
1) Students will finish water testing and data exchange.
2) Instructor will introduce the lab report assignment with the class for the Fumee Lake Water Quality Study
3) Students will use KHS water quality handbook to analyze test results for each water test.
TUESDAY-
1) Canopy assessment- students will learn how to classify a stand by performing a canopy estimate.
2) Fumee habitat study- procedure and background for Thursday’s field trip
3) Introduction to MIWILD for Thursday’s field trip.
4) Taxonomy- identification of trees for Thursday’s field trip.
5) Work on lab report for Fumee Lake water quality.
WEDNESDAY-
1) Students will finish water testing and data exchange.
2) Students will begin writing lab report assignment for the Fumee Lake Water Quality Study- due date will be 10/5
3) Students will use KHS water quality handbook to analyze test results for each water test.
4) Ch2 review sheet due Tuesday.
THURSDAY-
1) Field trip- 8am – noon- Fumee Lake- students will navigate to six pre-marked sites near Fumee Lake and conduct habitat surveys as well as wildlife surveys (scent stations and mammal tracks, snap traps). Students will record information on data sheets and use in school to validate Miwild computer program.
FRIDAY-
1) Mobile- students will match 6 actual habitats to 6 habitats in the MIWILD computer program and print species lists for calculations for second major lab report.
2) Percent match. Omission, and commission calculations from printed sheets will be started following instruction sheets.a data sheet which is to be included in their final lab report.
