CURRICULUM CONNECTION: SPECIES LAW

SCIENCE 20

UNIT D – CHANGES IN LIVING SYSTEMS

General Outcome 1: Students will analyze ecosystems and ecological succession in the local area and describe the relationships and interactions among subsystems and components.

How does this relate to changes to species at risk? Do we need to protect critical habitat?

General Outcome 3: Students will analyze and describe the adaptation of organisms to their environments, factors limiting natural populations, and evolutionary change in an ecological context.

How does this connect with species at risk and changes to their habitat? Should we update our species at risk law? Pay particular attention to the protection (or lack thereof) of critical habitat.
