Science –
In Dynamic Science this week the students continued to develop the concepts to be able to draw conclusions from cause and effect relationships concerning: parent traits and probability of offspring traits, interactions between plants and animals and the probability of successful reproduction, and humans altering genetic outcomes! One of the activities this week was a simulation where they were able to analyze and interpret the relationships among the amount of grass, rabbits, and wolves in a forest. They were able to change factors to determine the cause and effect relationships!
Ask your students about some of the factors which determine flower reproduction or predator/prey relationships, and grass/rabbits/wolves. Below are the cross-cutting concepts the students are developing.
- Investigating and explaining causal relationships may predict & explain events.
- Defining systems and system models are ways to understand & test ideas.
- For natural & built systems, conditions of stability and/or rates of change are critical.
If you have any questions or comments please let me know.
