Human Activity in Watersheds
Given scenarios, descriptions, maps and illustrations, students will be able to model the effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water in a watershed.
Human Systems
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will be able to identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism.
Organisms and Environments—Cell Theory
