Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems
Performance Expectation: 3-LS4-3. 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.
Disciplinary Core Idea:
Science and Engineering Practice: Cross Cutting Concept:
Literacy:
For any particular
environment, some kinds of
organisms survive well, some
survive less well, and some
cannot survive at all. (3-LS43)
Construct an argument with
evidence. (3-LS4-3)
RI.3.1 Ask and answer questions to
demonstrate understanding of a text,
referring explicitly to the text as the basis for
the answers. (3-LS2-1),(3-LS4-1),(3-LS4-3),(3LS4-4)
Cause and effect relationships are
routinely identified and used to
explain change. (3-LS2- 1),(3-LS43)
Knowledge of relevant scientific
concepts and research findings is
important in engineering. (3-LS43)
RI.3.2 Determine the main idea of a text;
recount the key details and explain how they
support the main idea. (3-LS4-1),(3-LS43),(3LS4-4)
RI.3.3 Describe the relationship between a
series of historical events, scientific ideas or
concepts, or steps in technical procedures in
a text, using language that pertains to time,
sequence, and cause/effect. (3-LS2-1),(3LS4-1),(3-LS4-3),(3-LS4-4)
W.3.1 Write opinion pieces on topics or
texts, supporting a point of view with
reasons. (3-LS2-1),(3-LS4-1),(3-LS4-3),(3-LS44)
W.3.2 Write informative/explanatory texts
to examine a topic and convey ideas and
information clearly. (3-LS4-1),(3-LS4-3),(3LS4-4)
Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or
recount an experience with appropriate
facts and relevant, descriptive details,
speaking clearly at an understandable pace.
(3-LS4- 3),(3-LS4-4)
HOT Questions
1. What evidence is there for a cause and effect relationship
between organisms and their survival in a habitat?
2. What affects the survival of an organism in its habitat?
3. What explains how the organism’s characteristics leads to its
ability to survive? What does this cause and effect relationship
help to explain?
Math:
3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a
scaled bar graph to represent a data set with
several categories. Solve one- and two-step
“how many more” and “how many less”
problems using information presented in
scaled bar graphs. (3-LS4-3)
