Evolution and Biodiversity, Climate, Terrestrial
and Aquatic Biodiversity
Unit 3 & 4 Title Page – Goals Section
Course Learning Goal:
Students will be able to analyze and apply the Earth as one
interconnected system in which humans have impacted and altered
these natural systems creating environmental problems that have a
cultural and social context in which human survival depends on
re-correcting these actions through developing practices that will
achieve sustainable systems.

ü Describe energy flow (Photosynthesis and cellular respiration; food webs and
trophic levels; ecological pyramids).
ü Predict and analyze natural ecosystem change (climate shifts, species movement;
ecological succession).
ü Analyze, ecosystem diversity (biodiversity; natural selection; evolution; ecosystem
services).
ü Analyze loss of biodiversity through habitat loss, overuse, pollution, introduced
species; endangered and extinct species..
ü Apply loss of biodiversity maintenance through conservation and relevant laws and
treaties.
