(Connect to yesterday’s or today’s learning & introduce the Essential Question and standards) / Standard:
SEV2. Students will demonstrate an understanding that the Earth is one interconnected system.
a. Describe how the abiotic components (water, air, and energy) affect the biosphere.
b. Recognize and give examples of the hierarchy of the biological entities of the biosphere (organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere).
c. Characterize the components that define a Biome. Abiotic Factors – to include precipitation, temperature and soils. Biotic Factors – plant and animal adaptations that create success in that biome.
d. Characterize the components that define fresh-water and marine systems.
Abiotic Factors – to include light, dissolved oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, pH and substrate.
Biotic Factors – plant and animal adaptations characteristic to that system.
Essential Question:
- What natural selection and adaptation?
- How is everything connected in an ecosystem?
- What are the six kingdoms of organisms?
1. Distinguish between the biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.
2. Describe how a population differs from a species.
3. Explain how habitats are important for organisms
4.Explain the process of evolution by natural selection.
5.Explain the concept of adaptation.
6.Describe the steps by which a population of insects becomes resistant to a pesticide. / Standard:
