Secondary Science - Aquatics
identify key features and
characteristics of atmospheric,
geological, hydrological, and
biological systems as they
relate to aquatic
environments.[AQS.4A]October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics
apply systems thinking to
the examination of aquatic
environments, including
positive and negative
feedback cycles.[AQS.4B]
October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics
collect and evaluate global
environmental data using technology
such as maps, visualizations,
satellite data, Global Positioning
System (GPS), Geographic
Information System (GIS), weather
balloons, buoys, etc.[AQS.4C]
October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics
evaluate data over a period
of time from an established
aquatic environment
documenting seasonal
changes and the behavior of
organisms.[AQS.5A]October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics
collect baseline quantitative
data, including pH, salinity,
temperature, mineral content,
nitrogen compounds, and
turbidity from an aquatic
environment.[AQS.5B]October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics

among producers,
consumers, and
decomposers in a local
aquatic ecosystem.[AQS.5C]
October 2014
Secondary Science - Aquatics
identify the
interdependence of
organisms in an aquatic
environment such as in a
pond, river, lake, ocean, or
aquifer and the biosphere.
[AQS.5D]October 2014

nitrogen, water, and nutrient
cycles in an aquatic
environment, including
upwellings and turnovers.
