NRS.01. Explain interrelationships between natural resources and humans necessary to conduct management activities in natural environments. Prior Background Knowledge Students will know how to apply knowledge of natural resource basic Math and ELA skills components to the management of natural resource systems. basic collaboration tools how to classify natural resources. MYcaert.com APSR:E11-3 NRES:B2-4 NRES:B2-12 NRES:C4-1 Students will understand that a biome or ecosystem is a large area with a distinct combination of animals and plants. multiple factors are used to determine when and how to select, plant, and harvest vegetables. horticultural practices to growing vegetables are climate related. parent material, topography, living organisms, time, and climate are affect the identify natural resources. (HD, SO) differentiate between renewable and nonrenewable natural resources. (SO) define ecosystem and related terms. describe the interdependence of organisms within an ecosystem. describe morphological characteristics used to identify herbaceous

(PG) describe morphological characteristics used to identify wildlife species. identify wildlife species. describe morphological characteristics used to identify aquatic species. (AAP) demonstrate techniques used to identify rock, mineral and soil types. (SO) identify rock, mineral and soil types. (SO) NRS.02: Apply scientific principles to natural resource management activities. Prior Background Knowledge basic Math and ELA skills basic collaboration tools Students will know how to develop a safety plan for work with natural resources. how to demonstrate cartographic skills to aid in developing, implementing and evaluating natural resource management plans. how measure and survey natural resource status to obtain planning data. Students will understand that plants and animals can be grouped into native, nonnative, and invasive species. in stream hydrology, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the water and the surrounding environment are tested. the biological health of a stream is dependent upon many factors, including describe the value of resource inventories and population studies. identify the different kinds of streams. (HD) identify indicators of the biological health of a stream. (HD) identify characteristics of a healthy wildlife habitat. identify methods of

Mycaert.com NRES:B1-6 NRES:B3-6 NRES:C4-1 biodiversity biological indicators biotic pyramid brook canal cover creek ecology edge endangered species ephemeral stream extinct home range hydrology intermittent stream interspersion invasive species perennial stream population density natural flows, diverse habitat, and unpolluted waters. the best and most accurate measures of the health of a stream are biological indicators. riparian zones serve many functions including protect from erosion, reduce sedimentation, slow runoff, and filter contaminant. habitat requirements are specific for selected species of animal wildlife. many animal wildlife species require more than one stage of succession in their habitat. wildlife habitat improvement. identify natural resource characteristics desirable for recreational purposes. (WH, HD) identify laws associated with natural resource systems. (HD, WH) identify the purposes of laws associated with natural resource systems. (HD, WH) describe properties of watersheds and identify the boundaries of local watersheds. (HD) relate the function of watersheds to natural resources. (HD) compare and contrast groundwater and surfacewater flow. (HD) explain stream hydrology and structure, and determine the different classes of streams. (HD) define riparian zones and riparian buffers, and explain their functions. (HD, WH) describe the processes associated with ecological succession. explain population ecology, population density and population dispersion.

4 population dispersion river runoff sediment load sedimentation stream bank stream bed threatened species discuss factors that influence population density and population dispersion. define invasive species. (HD, WH) discuss factors that influence the establishment and spread of invasive species. describe sources of pollution and delineate between point and nonpoint source pollution. (HD, SO) describe the impact of pollution on natural resources. (HD, SO) NRS.03. Apply knowledge of natural resources to production and processing industries. Prior Background Knowledge Students will know how to produce, harvest, process and use natural basic Math and ELA skills resource products. basic collaboration tools Mycaert.com NRES:C5-6 NRES: C6-8 aquatic bag limit cage consumptive dip nets Students will understand that humans continue to use wildlife resources for food, clothing, shelter, hunting, fishing, trapping, ornamentation, medicine, and recreation. hunting is the most common method of harvesting wildlife and population control. properly preparing the harvested game when hunting is necessary to gain full use of the animal while identify wildlife species that can be sustainably harvested. (WH, AAP) identify products obtained from wildlife species. (WH, AAP) identify recreational uses of natural resources. (WH, SO) identify uses of aquatic species. (HD)

NRS.04: Demonstrate techniques used to protect natural resources. Prior Background Knowledge Students will know how to manage fires in natural resource systems. basic Math and ELA skills how to diagnose plant and wildlife diseases and follow protocol to prevent their basic collaboration tools spread. how to manage insect infestations of natural resources. Mycaert.com APSR:E5-3 abscess antennae bathing Students will understand that diseases may cause fish to stop growing, grow slower, or die. identifying signs of disease early allows for treatment in time to reduce the losses. diseases among fish can be controlled in two different ways: prevention and treatment. different types of insect have different life cycles. there are many methods of insect control. identify causes of diseases in plants. (PG) identify causes of diseases in wildlife. identify harmful and beneficial insects and signs of insect damage to natural resources. (WH, PG)
