Unit Summary How do matter and energy cycle through ecosystems? In this unit of study, students construct explanations for the role of energy in the cycling of matter in organisms and ecosystems. They apply mathematical concepts to develop evidence to support explanations of the interactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and they will develop models to communicate these explanations. Students also understand organisms’ interactions with each other and their physical environment and how organisms obtain resources. Students utilize the crosscutting concepts of matter and energy and systems, and system models to make sense of ecosystem dynamics. Students are expected to use students construct explanations for the role of energy in the cycling of matter in organisms and ecosystems. They apply mathematical concepts to develop evidence to support explanations as they demonstrate their understanding of the disciplinary core ideas. This unit is based on HS-LS1-5, HS-LS2-3, HS-LS2-4, and HS-LS2-5. Student Learning Objectives Use a model?to illustrate how?photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.?[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on illustrating inputs and outputs of matter and the transfer and transformation of energy in photosynthesis by plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. Examples of models could include diagrams, chemical equations, and conceptual models.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include specific biochemical steps.] (HS-LS1-5) Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for?the cycling of matter?and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.?[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on conceptual understanding of the role of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in different environments.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the specific chemical processes of either aerobic or anaerobic respiration.] (HS-LS2-3) Use mathematical representations to support claims for the c
