Grade Discipline Core Idea
PreK-2 LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience N/A
3-5 LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience When the environment changes some organisms survive and reproduce, some move to new locations, some move into the transformed environment, and some die.
6-8 LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience N/A
9-12 LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience If a biological or physical disturbance to an ecosystem occurs, including one induced by human activity, the ecosystem may return to its more or less original state or become a very different ecosystem, depending on the complex set of interactions within the ecosystem.
