Example 2: SCIENCE — Specialized Science (Fisheries) (Environmental Science, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Life Sciences, Topics in Fisheries) Grade 12 BIG IDEAS Biodiversity is dependent on the complex interactions and processes between biotic and abiotic factors. Human activities have implications in the local and global environments. Elements and compounds have specific properties. Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Health of aquatic ecosystems is critical to sustainable fisheries.
