ECOLOGY: LIVING ON EARTH

Over-arching Issue: How would you design policies to make a fishery
sustainable?

Understanding the complex web of relationships within ecosystems is essential to understanding their
sustainability. In this unit students examine a variety of ecological issues including the impact of human
activities on ecosystems. They see the results of pollution in an area vital to organisms, and learn about
invasive species and their impact on established ecosystems. Students then recommend actions to
sustain a fishery and its ecosystems.
Core Science Content: Flow of energy through ecosystems, global ecosystems, population ecology,
photosynthesis and respiration
Key Assessment Task: “How do you think it would affect the ecosystem if the communities near
Avril Gulf continued fishing spotted flying fish instead of Avril Gulf tuna?” Supports elements of NGSS
Performance Expectations: ETS1-1, ETS1-3, LS1-5, LS1-6, LS1-7, LS2-3, LS2-4, LS2-5, LS2-6, LS2-7 (for full
