Ecosystem POV and HMWs

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving MS-LS2-2 Submission Required

In pairs, students observe a local ecosystem area to identify who is affected by balance or imbalance. They craft an Ecosystem POV from a stakeholder’s viewpoint (a plant, animal, or community member), develop 2–3 How Might We questions to address balance issues, create simple persona profiles for key users, and draw a basic systems map or problem tree showing how organisms and environmental factors influence balance. These artifacts will be shared on a class board to guide later project work.
