Expectations

  • SBO5.a

    Construct 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.b

    Construct 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.c

    Develop and use models to analyze how change and disruptions in major nutrient cycles (i.e., C, H, O, N, P) might affect plant responses.
