Expectations
SBO3.aAnalyze and interpret data using taxonomic keys to identify and compare the major plant forms that dominate natural plant communities growing in aquatic and terrestrial habitats and the ecosystems they support in Georgia.
SBO3.bConstruct an argument based on evidence of the impact of non-native invasive plants on Georgia’s natural communities.
SBO3.cConstruct explanations of the factors that cause plants to become endangered and design solutions to prevent extinction.
SBO3.dDesign a solution to create sustainable plant communities within Georgia’s ecoregions and reduce negative human impact. (Clarification statement: Solutions to creating sustainable plant communities include, but are not limited to, restoration and reintroduction science, propagation methods, and habitat management.)
