Using art materials or computer generated graphics, design a scale representation of what you think an ideal habitat and territory would be for a coyote. Incorporate the elements a coyote needs to survive. Using the data obtained from the Visualization Tool, what would be the size of your created territory?
3-LS4-3 (Upper Elementary)
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
4-LS1-1 (Upper Elementary)
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
HS-LS2-1 (High School)
Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales.
HS-LS2-2 (High School)
Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
MS-LS2-1 (Middle School)
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
MS-LS2-2 (Middle School)
Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
