Standard 2.1 Changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of individual organisms, populations, and entire species.
a. Interpret and analyze data about changes in environmental conditions- such as climate changed- and populations that support a claim describing why a specific population might be increasing or decreasing.
b. Develop, communicate and justify an evidence based explanation about how ecosystems interact with and impact the global environment.
c. Model equilibrium in an ecosystem, including basic inputs and outputs, to predict how a change to that ecosystem such as climate change might impact the organisms, populations, and species within it such as the removal of a top predator or introduction of a new species.
d. Examine, evaluate, question, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media to investigate how environmental conditions affect the survival of individual.
