Expectations

  • SEC3.a

    Construct an argument based on evidence to support how species interactions (e.g., predation, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, and competition) and adaptations are a response to selective pressures.)

  • SEC3.b

    Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about various ecological niches within habitats and determine how interactions between species lead to resource partitioning.

  • SEC3.c

    Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes the impact of keystone, invasive, native, indicator, and rare species in Georgia ecosystems.

  • SEC3.d

    Construct an explanation about species diversity and how it relates to the stability of ecosystems and communities.

  • SEC3.e

    Develop a model to explain ecological succession in terms of changes in communities over time and the impact of disturbance on community composition.
