A Correlation of<strong>Miller</strong> & <strong>Levine</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>, ©2014to the Next Generation Science Standards, May 2013Grades 9-12TE: Transfer Performance Task (p. 122)Engaging in Argument from EvidenceEngaging in argument from evidence in 9–12 builds on K–8 experiences and progresses to using appropriate andsufficient evidence and scientific reasoning to defend andcritique claims and explanations about the natural anddesigned world(s). Arguments may also come fromcurrent scientific or historical episodes in science.•Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behindcurrently accepted explanations or solutions to determinethe merits of arguments. (HS-LS2-6)SE: Analyzing Data, p. 102; Quick Lab, p.108; Q2 (p. 147)•Evaluate the evidence behind currently acceptedexplanations to determine the merits of arguments. (HS-LS2-8)SE: Q30 (p. 856)<strong>Biology</strong>.com: Chapter 29 STEM activity-------------------------------------------------------Connections to Nature of ScienceScientific Knowledge is Open to Revision in Light ofNew Evidence•Most scientific knowledge is quite durable, but is, inprinciple, subject to change based on new evidenceand/or reinterpretation of existing evidence. (HS-LS2-2),(HS-LS2-3)SE: Chapter 3 Mystery (pp. 63 and 91);Chapter 4 Mystery (pp. 95 and 125)TE: How Science Works (p. 100)•Scientific argumentation is a mode of logical discourseused to clarify the strength of relationships between ideasand evidence that may result in revision of anexplanation. (HS-LS2-6),(HS-LS2-8)SE: Chapter 5 Mystery (pp. 129 and 149);Chapter 29 Mystery (pp. 839 and 855)TE: Lead a Discussion (p. 108); AddressMisconceptions (p. 109); How Science Works(p. 539)LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, andResilience•A complex set of interactions within an ecosystem cankeep its numbers and types of organisms relativelyconstant over long periods of time under stableconditions. If a modest biological or physical disturbanceto an ecosystem occurs, it may return to its more or lessoriginal status (i.e., the ecosystem is resilient), asopposed to becoming a very different ecosystem. Extremefluctuations in conditions or the size of any population,however, can challenge the functioning of ecosystems interms of resources and habitat availability. (HS-LS2-2),(HS-LS2-6)SE/TE: Primary and Secondary Succession(pp. 106–107); Climax Communities (pp.108–109)•Moreover, anthropogenic changes (induced by humanactivity) in the environment—including habitatdestruction, pollution, introduction of invasive species,overexploitation, and climate change—can disrupt anecosystem and threaten the survival of some species.(HS-LS2-7)SE/TE: What Can Be Done About InvasiveMussels? (p. 136); The Effect of HumanActivity (pp. 154–156); Soil Erosion (p. 159);Water Pollution (pp. 160–162); Air Pollution(pp. 163–164); Air Quality and Sustainability(p. 165); Altered Habitats (p. 168)LS2.D: Social Interactions and Group Behavior•Group behavior has evolved because membership canincrease the chances of survival for individuals and theirgenetic relatives. (HS-LS2-8)SE/TE: Behavioral Cycles (p. 845); SocialBehavior (pp. 848–849); Communication (pp.850–851)LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans•Biodiversity is increased by the formation of newspecies (speciation) and decreased by the loss of species(extinction). (secondary to HS-LS2-7)SE/TE: The Process of Speciation (pp. 494–497); Speciation and Extinction (pp. 546–548)•Humans depend on the living world for the resourcesand other benefits provided by biodiversity. But humanactivity is also having adverse impacts on biodiversitythrough overpopulation, overexploitation, habitatdestruction, pollution, introduction of invasive species,and climate change. Thus sustaining biodiversity so thatecosystem functioning and productivity are maintained isessential to supporting and enhancing life on Earth.Sustaining biodiversity also aids humanity by preservinglandscapes of recreational or inspirational value.(secondary to HS-LS2-7) (Note: This Disciplinary CoreIdea is also addressed by HS-LS4-6.)SE/TE: The Value of Biodiversity (pp. 166–167); Threats to Biodiversity (pp. 168–170);Conserving Biodiversity (pp. 170–171);Ecology in Action (pp. 174–179)Stability and Change•Much of science deals with constructing explanationsof how things change and how they remain stable.
