Phenomenon
Living things have different needs to thrive and survive in their habitat.
Science and Engineering Practices
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
The crew collects and analyzes data by observing the conditions and characteristics of different organisms, such as frogs and plants to determine what they need to thrive. They use this data to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions.
Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Based on their observations and data analysis, the crew constructs explanations and designs solutions to address the needs of the organisms. They identify the missing elements and suggest appropriate actions to improve the conditions.
Crosscutting Concepts
Cause and Effect
The mission explores the cause-and-effect relationship between specific environmental factors and the well-being of organisms.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
LS1.A: Structure and Function
The mission explores the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.
LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience
The mission emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance in ecosystems by addressing the needs of different organisms.
