NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 2 – Cause and Effect. 3-5. Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified, tested, and used to explain change.
Millipedes eat decaying leaves and other dead plant matter.
NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas. 5LS2.B – Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems. Matter cycles between the air and soil and among plants, animals, and microbes as these organisms live and die.
Using the information
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 2 – Cause and Effect. 3-5. Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified, tested, and used to explain change.
write down three questions they have about forests
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 1 – Asking Questions and Defining Problems. 3-5. Ask questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.
The game models how trees get what they need from the ecosystem
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2- Developing and Using Models. 3-5. Use a model to test cause and effect relationships or interactions concerning the functioning of a natural or designed system.
construct an explanation of what they depicted
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 6 – Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions. 3-5. Construct an explanation of observed relationships (e.g., the distribution of plants in the back yard).
What might happen to a real tree that lacked one of its requirements?
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 2 – Cause and Effect. 3-5. Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified, tested, and used to explain change.
Challenge students to make up a math question or puzzle
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 5 – Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking. 3-5. Organize simple data sets to reveal patterns that suggest relationships.
that different species of trees have different requirements
NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas. LS2.B – Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems. Matter cycles between the air and soil and among plants, animals, and microbes as these organisms live and die. Organisms obtain gases, and water, from the environment, and release waste matter (gas, liquid, or solid) back into the environment.
digital cameras or electronic tablets to take pictures of the tree, the plants and animals living on and around it, and the surrounding area
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 3 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. 3-5. Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.
