Area of Learning: SCIENCE — Environmental Science Grade 11 BIG IDEAS Complex roles and relationships contribute to diversity of ecosystems. Changing ecosystems are maintained by natural processes. Human practices affect the sustainability of ecosystems. Humans can play a role in stewardship and restoration of ecosystems.
