Carrying Capacity | Population Ecology

Описание: Teach Carrying Capacity: Ecologists have the job of asking questions about organism behavior and resources in an environment and the answers reveal important information about the ecosystem and the organisms living in it. Today we will be looking at a few different species and the carrying capacity of their environment.

SCIENCE STANDARDS:
NGSS
3-LS4-4 Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
MS-LS2-1 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
MS-LS2-4 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations.
HS-LS2-1 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales.
HS-LS2-6 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics 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.

TEKS
SCI.7.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and the environment. The student is expected to: observe and describe how different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes, support different varieties of organisms
SCI.9-11.B.12.E
Science concepts. The student knows that interdependence and interactions occur within an environmental system. The student is expected to: describe how environmental change can impact ecosystem stability.
