3rd Quarter
Analyze the living and nonliving factors that affect organisms in ecosystems.
Analyze how systems function, including the inputs, outputs, transfers, transformations, and feedbacks of a system and subsystems.
Understand how organisms, including cells, use matter and energy to sustain life and that these processes are complex, integrated, and regulated.
Week 1-3
Compare different ecosystems in terms of the cycling of matter and/or flow of energy.
Identify or describe how matter and energy are transferred and cycled through ecosystems (i.e. matter and energy move from plants to herbivores/omnivores, to carnivores, and then to decomposers).
Week 4-5
Identify or describe how population changes cause changes in the cycle of matter and/or the flow of energy in ecosystems.
Week 6-7
Identify or describe the living and nonliving factors that limit the size and/or affect the health of a
population in an ecosystem.
Week 8
Identify, describe, or explain how the use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources affects the sustainability of an ecosystem.
Week 9 (Culminating Project)
Identify, describe, or explain how human activities affect Earth’s capacity to sustain biological
diversity (e.g. global warming, ozone depletion).
Identify or describe the function of a system’s parts or subsystems.
Identify, describe, or explain the inputs, outputs, transfers, transformations, and feedbacks of energy, matter, and/or information in a system.
Identify, describe, or explain the interconnections between a system’s parts or subsystems.
