MS-LS1-8 Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories. Identify examples of how sensory information sent to the is used immediately for behavior or stored as a memory. MS-LS2-1 Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. Identify factors in a graph (including resources, climate, or competition) in an ecosystem that influence growth in populations of organisms. MS-LS2-2 Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Describe examples of competitive, predatory, or symbiotic relationships by using models of interactions between organisms in an ecosystem. MS-LS2-3 Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. Using a model, identify energy transfer between producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. MS-LS2-4 Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. Identify the outcome evidence of changes in physical or biological components of an ecosystem to populations of organisms in that ecosystem. MS-LS3-2 Develop and use a to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Use a model, through observation, to identify that a variety of inherited traits passed from parents to offspring leads to differences in offspring (e.g., eye color, fur pattern, plant height).
