Essential Questions: How do natural and human activities
change ecosystems?
are framed to provoke and sustain student interest * cannot
be answered by a quick and simple “yes” or “no” answer *
are broad in nature * are central to the content of the unit or
subject * have no single correct or obvious answer * invite
higher-order thinking, including analyzing, synthesizing, and
evaluating * provoke student interest and allow students to
draw from experience
