Using Assessments to Monitor Student Learning

How do experiment results help determine an optimal environment for an organism?

5D(3-5)#1: For any particular environment, some kinds of plants and animals survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.

12D(3-5)#3: Use numerical data in describing and comparing objects and events.

1B(3-5)#3: Scientists' explanations about what happens in the world come partly from what they observe, partly from what they think. Sometimes scientists have different explanations for the same set of observations. That usually leads to making more observations to resolve the differences.
