Ecology
| Students
will identify the components of an ecosystem, explain
and illustrate complex interactions in an ecosystem, and
know the responses of organisms to internal and external
stimuli. Critical Questions
- What scientific techniques can students use to
analyze and interpret data?
- Why is it important to understand and use safety
procedures when in a science laboratory?
- What factors contribute to the survivability of an
ecosystem?
- How do the components of an ecosystem relate to
the whole?
- How do the parts of a system relate to the whole?
