Students study and design a healthy fish tank with a variety of animals. Students budget costs to do so.
Students are given data and are required to graph the data, analyze the data to determine the carrying capacity of four different organisms.
Students use GIS and analyze another digital map before constructing a model to explain human impacts on different biomes across the globe.
Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.
In this unit-wide lesson, students will create, monitor/observe and explore a real-life model that allows for variations and disturbances that can alter their data and provide a day-to-day example of
Students will learn about the history of the National Parks Service and the different biomes and environments within the United States. Then, they will choose a National Park to research and present a
