EXPLAIN (Ecosystem Change)

 The standard that I decided to study was 3-LS4-3 Habitats and Organism Survival.

Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all (cause and effect).

Science and engineering practices are how students should learn. Specifically to this standard engagement in argument from evidence is the scientific practice.

Disciplinary core ideas are what students should learn. Specifically to this standard they are learning about adaptation. 

Crosscutting concepts are how students should think. Specifically to this standard they are incorporating cause and effect.
