MS-LS1-7.



MS-LS2-3.		Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role
of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy
into and out of organisms.

Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through
chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth
and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.

Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of
energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem.		Students will construct explanations based on evidence for how light energy is used to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis. They will understand that in organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions and the molecules are rearranged to support growth or release energy.

U4INTERACTIONS WITHIN ECOSYSTEMSU4M1Matter and Energy in EcosystemsU4M1L2Flow of EnergyRefer to the teacher edition Refer to Extended Learning Plan, Teacher Edition and supplementary platforms on LMSStudents will develop models that describe how energy is transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers in ecosystems.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)
7
U4INTERACTIONS WITHIN ECOSYSTEMSU4M1Matter and Energy in EcosystemsU4M1L3Cycling of MatterRefer to the teacher edition Refer to Extended Learning Plan, Teacher Edition and supplementary platforms on LMSStudents will develop models to describe how matter cycles through living and non-living parts of ecosystem. They will understand that atoms are conserved as they cycle through the ecosystem.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)

MS-LS2-2.


MS-LS2-4.		Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of
resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms
in an ecosystem.

Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions
among organisms across multiple ecosystems.

Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that
changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem
affect populations.		Students will analyze and interpret data to explore how organisms are dependent on their interactions with living and nonliving factors in their environment. They come to understand the effects of different limiting factors such as resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)
9
U4INTERACTIONS WITHIN ECOSYSTEMSU4M2Dynamic EcosystemsU4M2L2Interactions Within EcosystemsRefer to the teacher edition Refer to Extended Learning Plan, Teacher Edition and supplementary platforms on LMSStudents will explore patterns of interactions among organisms. They will explain the nature of these relationships and understand that they may be symbiotic or nonsymbiotic. Students will learn that while the species involved vary, the patterns of interactions are shared.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)
10
U4INTERACTIONS WITHIN ECOSYSTEMSU4M2Dynamic EcosystemsU4M2L3Changing EcosystemsRefer to the teacher edition Refer to Extended Learning Plan, Teacher Edition and supplementary platforms on LMSStudents will explore the dynamic nature of ecosystems. Focusing on both natural changes and human disruptions. They will evaluate how and argue that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations within the ecosystem.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)

MS-ETS1-1.




MS-ETS1-2.




MS-ETS1-3.		Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity
and ecosystem services.

Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with
sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into
account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on
people and the natural environment that may limit possible
solutions.

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process
to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of
the problem.

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and
differences among several design solutions to identify the best
characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution
to better meet the criteria for success.		Students will gather evidence about biodiversity and its importance. They will recognize different types of biodiversity and understand how biodiversity is measured. They will explore what makes ecosystems stable and what happens when there are changes in ecosystems. They will engage in arguments using evidence to enhance their understanding of these concepts.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)
12
U4INTERACTIONS WITHIN ECOSYSTEMSU4M3Biodiversity in EcosystemsU4M3L2Maintaining BiodiversityRefer to the teacher edition Refer to Extended Learning Plan, Teacher Edition and supplementary platforms on LMSStudents will learn about threats to biodiversity and identify strategies that can help maintain biodiversity. They will construct an argument to enhance their understanding of these concepts.ESF1.1.L3Biodiversity and Ecosystems (Level 3)
