Interdependent Relationships
Understanding Life's Ecosystems
HS-LS2-1: Use mathematical and/or computational representation to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems of different scales.
HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
HS-LS2-2: Use mathematical representation to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
HS-LS2-8: Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.
HS-LS2-6: Evaluate the claims, evidence and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem.
HS-LS4-6: Create and revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.
