This theme focuses on helping students use scientific inquiry to discover patterns, trends, structures and relationships that may be inferred from simple principles.
These principles are related to the properties or interactions within and between systems.
STRANDS
Strand Connections: Systems can exchange energy and/or matter when interactions occur within systems and between systems. Systems cycle matter and energy in observable and predictable patterns.
This topic focuses on the impact of matter and energy transfer within the biotic component of ecosystems.
