Overall 1. Assess human impacts on biodiversity, and identify ways of preserving biodiversity; 2. Investigate the characteristics of living things, and classify diverse organisms according to specific characteristics; 3. Demonstrate an understanding of biodiversity, its contributions to the stability of natural systems, and its benefits to humans. Specifics 1.1 Analyse a local issue related to biodiversity, taking different points of view into consideration propose action that can be taken to preserve biodiversity, and act on the proposal 1.2 Assess the benefits that human societies derive from biodiversity and the problems that occur when biodiversity is diminished 2.1 Follow established safety procedures for out-door activities and field work 2.2 Investigate the organisms found in a specific habitat and classify them according to a classification system 2.3 Use scientific inquiry/research skills to compare the characteristics of organisms within the plant or animal kingdoms 2.4 Use appropriate science and technology vocabulary, including classification, biodiversity, natural community, interrelationships, vertebrate, invertebrate, stability, characteristics, and organism, in oral and written communication 2.5 Use a variety of forms to communicate with different audiences and for a variety of purposes 3.1 Identify and describe the distinguishing characteristics of different groups of plants and animals 3.2 Demonstrate an understanding of biodiversity as the variety of life on earth, including variety within each species of plant and animal, among species of plants and animals in communities, and among communities and the physical landscapes that support them 3.3 Describe ways in which biodiversity within species is important for maintaining the resilience of those species 3.4 Describe ways in which biodiversity within and among communities is important for maintaining the resilience of these communities 3.5 Describe interrelationships within species, between species, and between species and their environment, and explain how these interrelationships sustain biodiversity 3.6 Identify everyday products that come from a diversity of organisms 3.7 Explain how invasive species reduce biodiversity in local environments |
