Bloom’s Taxonomy Level

Standard

Supporting Skills

(Comprehension)

9-12.L.3.1. Students are able to identify factors that can cause changes in stability of populations, communities, and ecosystems.

Define populations, communities, ecosystems, niches and symbiotic relationships.
Predict the results of biotic and abiotic interactions.

Examples:

Responses to changing of the seasons
Tolerances (temperature, weather, climate)
Dormancy and migration
Fluctuation in available resources (water, food, shelter)
Human activity
Biogeochemical cycles
Energy flow
Cooperation and competition in ecosystems
Response to external stimuli

Define populations, communities,

& ecosystems

(COMPREHENSION)

Define niches and symbiotic

Relationships

(COMPREHENSION)

Compare and contrast the

community interactions in an

ecosystem (predation, competition,

food chains, commensalism,

parasitism, mutualism)

Diagram and describe the

importance of the N, C, O and

H₂O cycles

Predict the effect of an interruptioni n a given cycle (ADVANCED)

EARTH SCIENCE STANDARDS
Indicator 1: Analyze the various structures and processes of the Earth system.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level

Standard

Supporting Skills

(Comprehension)

9-12.E.1.1. Students are able to explain how elements and compounds cycle between living and non-living systems.

Diagram and describe the N, C, O and H₂O cycles.
Describe the importance of the N, C, O and H₂O cycles to life on this planet.

Examples: water cycle including evaporation, cloud formation, condensation.

Illustrate and describe the N, C, O and H₂O cycles.
Describe the importance of the N, C, O and H₂O cycles to life on this planet.

NCLB Core High School Life Science Performance Descriptors

Advanced

High school students performing at the advanced level:

predict the effect of an interruption in a given cycles;
predict how human activity may change the land, ocean, and atmosphere of Earth.

Proficient

High school students performing at the proficient level:

explain how H₂0, N, C, and O cycle between living and non-living systems;
describe how various factors may affect global climate;
explain how human activity changes the land, ocean, and atmosphere of Earth.

Basic

High school students performing at the basic level:

given pictorial representations of the H₂0 and C cycles, explain how elements and compounds move between living and nonliving systems;
describe one factor that may affect global climate;
give an example of human activity that changes the land, ocean, or atmosphere of Earth.
