SBO5Plant Adaptations Overview
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze the diversity of plant adaptations and responses to changing environmental conditions.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SBO5.aConstruct an explanation to describe the diversity of plants and their adaptations in relation to differing ecosystems and changing environments, both long term (climate) and short term
(seasonal and diurnal). (Clarification statement: Instruction should focus on climatic, seasonal, and diurnal changes.)
SBO5.bConstruct an argument based on evidence to predict which plant adaptions increase survival in different stressful environments (i.e., water extremes, saline environment, and extreme temperature).
SBO5.cDevelop and use models to analyze how change and disruptions in major nutrient cycles (i.e., C, H, O, N, P) might affect plant responses.
