Virginia Standards for Phytoplankton in the Gulf of Maine
No full textThis resource supports science standards for grades 7-8. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning ES.1c: The student will plan and conduct investigations in which scales, diagrams, maps, charts, graphs, tables, and profiles are constructed and interpreted. ES.11c: The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical, chemical, and biological systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts include systems interactions (density differences, energy transfer, weather, and climate). LS.7: The student will investigate and understand that organisms within an ecosystem are dependent on one another and on nonliving components of the environment.
Virginia Standards for Human Effect
No full textThis resource supports science standards for grades 3-5. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning Sci3.8: The student will investigate and understand basic patterns and cycles occurring in nature. Key concepts include patterns of natural events (day and night, seasonal changes, phases of the moon, and tides), and animal and plant life cycles. Sci3.10: The student will investigate and understand that natural events and human influences can affect the survival of species. Key concepts include the interdependency of plants and animals, the effects of human activity on the quality of air, water, and habitat, the effects of fire, flood, disease, and erosion on organisms, and conservation and resource renewal. Sci4.5: The student will investigate and understand how plants and animals in an ecosystem interact with one another and the nonliving environment.
