Competency Goals:: 7: The learner will conduct investigations and use technologies and information systems to build an understanding of population dynamics.
Objectives:
7.01: Describe ways in which organisms interact with each other and with nonliving parts of the environment:
Coexistence/Cooperation/Competition.
Symbiosis.
Mutual dependence. 7.02: Investigate factors that determine the growth and survival of organisms including:
Light.
Temperature range.
Mineral availability.
Soil/rock type.
Water.
Energy. 7.03: Explain how changes in habitat may affect organisms. 7.04: Evaluate data related to human population growth, along with problems and solutions:
Waste disposal.
Food supplies.
Resource availability.
Transportation.
Socio-economic patterns. 7.05: Examine evidence that overpopulation by any species impacts the environment. 7.06: Investigate processes which, operating over long periods of time, have resulted in the diversity of plant and animal life present today:
Natural selection.
Adaptation.
