MODULE B—Continuity and Unity of Life
ASSESSMENT ANCHOR BIO.B.4 Ecology
PA Standards – 4.5 Integrated Pest Management; 4.6: Ecosystems and
their Interactions; 4.7 Threatened, Endangered and Extinct Species; 4.8:
Humans and their Environment
SAI 1: Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:

What is evolution, and how has it led to the current diversity of
organisms on the earth?

How does evolution affect the way organisms fit into their
environment?

What is an ecological niche, and how does it relate to changing
environmental conditions?

How do extinction of species and formation of new species affect
biodiversity?

What determines the number of species in a community?

How can we classify species according to their roles?

How do species interact with one another?

How do communities and ecosystems change as environmental
conditions change?

Does high species diversity increase the stability of ecosystems?

How do populations change in size, density, and make-up in
response to environmental stress?

What is the role of predators in controlling population size?

What different reproductive patterns do species use to enhance their
survival?

What is conservation biology?

What impacts do human activities have on populations,
communities, and ecosystems?
