DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting As a class we are going to create a KWL chart of our ideas throughout the chapter in a continuing document. What We Know What We Want to Know What We Learned Local Environment (park) Yellowstone Park DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting In groups discuss the following question, then answer in your notes: Be prepared to share your answers as a class. DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting Independently answer question 3 in your notes: 3. Do you think people should try to restore wild environments (like they have when reintroducing the wolf to Yellowstone)? Why or why not? DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting 3. Do you think people should try to restore wild environments (like they have when reintroducing the wolf to Yellowstone)? Why or why not? Should this decision be only based on science? DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting Did you see any patterns in the ways organisms interact? What were they? As organisms interact, how might a change in the number or actions of one type of organisms cause a change on other types of organisms? DE Activity 1.1

Engage: People and Animals Interacting The patterns and cause and effect are two examples of Crosscutting Concepts. Crosscutting Concepts are concepts that are found across all disciplines of science and engineering. They are a way which you can make sense of science and deepen your understanding of disciplinary core ideas. What patterns have you noticed in science? Think about patterns of the seasons every year. Aim: SWBAT explain what they already know about interactions in Yellowstone Park. Lesson 1.1.1B

Engage: People and Animals Interacting We’re going to start a Word Wall! We’ll add words as we go through the unit. Our first word is “disruption”. What does disruptions mean? The book is titled “Disruptions in Ecosystems”. What disruption was in this activity? Aim: SWBAT explain what they already know about interactions in Yellowstone Park. Lesson 1.1.1B

Engage: People and Animals Interacting During this chapter, we have a guiding question: What happens when a predator comes back into an environment? Two main learning goals for this chapter: 1)to construct an explanation 2)to analyze and interpret data Aim: SWBAT explain what they already know about interactions in Yellowstone Park. Lesson 1.1.1B
