before, during, and after the
field trip

Day 02
Students will use their field journal to record:
How many different species you observe and describe
each?
How many variations of the same species you observe
and describe each?
Pick 3 species and describe how they are specially
adapted for their environment.
Pick 3 new species and observe and describe what they
depend on to survive.
Key Outcomes (POS)

Science
- Ask questions about the
relationships between and among
observable variables,
- Observe variation in living things,
and describe examples of variation
among species and within species
- Investigate and interpret
dependencies among species that
link the survival of one species to the
survival of others
- Identify the role of variation in
species survival under changing
environmental conditions

Biological
Diversity

Evidence

The class will begin with a discussion. Students will be asked

to think of the mockingjays and trackerjackets weve heard
about in the book, what is biological diversity? What happens
when there isnt diversity? What is genetic modification and
