Topic 4: Ecosystems

Lesson 1: Living things and the

environment

Learning Skills:
2.3 Investigate how populations are affected by
physical and biological components in the
ecosystem.

Success Criteria
-I can :
•Define the terminology used
by ecologists to describe
populations.

•Categorize the factors that
affect the populations

•Summarize the factors that
affect the population of a
particular place/area.

Challenge Questions:
Why is understanding the concepts of
immigration and emigration important in
studying population dynamics?

Lesson Structure:

MS-LS2-4: Construct an argument supported by
empirical evidence that changes to physical or
biological components of an ecosystem affect
populations
