Learning Intentions

• You can analyze organisms respond to changes in their environment through behavioral and physiological mechanisms by analyzing observations earthworms in an investigation you have designed.

• You analyze how organism activities are affected by interactions with biotic and abiotic factors by designing an experiment to explore the behavior of an earthworm.

• You can describe how animals internal and external signals regulate a variety of physiological responses that synchronize with environmental cycles and cues by designing an experiment to explore the behavior of an earthworm.

• You can plan and implement data collection strategies appropriate to a particular scientific question by performing an experiment you designed on the behavior of an earthworm.

• You can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence by evaluating an experiment  they designed on the behavior of an earthworm.
