explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
Lesson Brief:
When humans move exotic species to new ecosystems what is the potential impact? Students will survey trees to estimate the proportion that are being killed by an exotic invasive beetle, the emerald ash borer. The 3D printed EAB Key will allow students to identify emerald ash borer exit holes without any insect or tree identification skills.
