3.3 Students will document how an organism is able to obtain and use resources, grow, reproduce, and maintain a stable internal environment while living in a constantly changing external environment.
NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.3a Describe mechanisms used by organisms to sense changes in the environment. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.3b Formulate and test hypotheses regarding the relationship between environmental stimuli and behavioral responses in organisms. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.3c Describe how behavior can be deduced from structures, artifacts, and fossil evidence. 3.3d Demonstrate how change in the environment has produced change in a group of organisms. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.4 Students categorize the components of an ecosystem on the basis of the energy relationships that exist between the various populations of organisms. NatureWorks Episodes9.

3.4a Illustrate populations living together and document the physical factors with which they interact in an ecosystem.
NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 3.4b Categorize populations of organisms by the functions they serve in an ecosystem. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics 14. Niche 3.4c Describe examples of food chains and food webs and energy relationships. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 3.4d Conduct experiments on the factors that affect the growth of populations. NatureWorks Episodes12. Population Dynamics3.5 Students demonstrate, by example, that organisms have adapted to live in a specific and fairly uniform environment. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.5a Describe major structural characteristics that are used to classify living organisms. NatureWorks Episodes13. Species Diversity3.5b Hypothesize the effect of environmental changes on a trait. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 3.5c Present a case study of the extinction of an organism. NatureWorks Episodes16. Life at Risk |
