LS4.C) BIO 4.4 ​ Engage in argument from evidence ​ that changes in environmental conditions may ​ cause ​ increases in the number of individuals of some species, the emergence of new species over time, and/or the extinction of other species. ​ Emphasize the cause and effect relationships for how changes and the rate of change to the environment affect distribution or disappearance of traits in a species. Examples of changes in environmental conditions could include deforestation, application of fertilizers, drought, or flood. (LS4.C)

● I can look for evidence of how and why environmental changes have affected species. ● I understand how the rate of environmental change affects species.
