Biodesign Makerspace

	Lesson 1 SCIENCE STANDARDS: ESS3C- Sustainability of human societies and the biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources, including the development of technologies Science and Engineering Practices - Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information -Communicate scientific and/or technical information or ideas (e.g. about phenomena and/or the process of development and the design and performance of a proposed process or system) in multiple formats (including orally, graphically, textually, and mathematically). ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Re.7.1.ia: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perceptions and understandings of human experiences.
	Lesson 2 SCIENCE STANDARDS: PS. 1B Chemical processes are understood in terms of collisions of molecules, rearrangement of atoms, and changes in energy as determined by properties of elements involved. ESS3A: Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Cn10.1.iia: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through artmaking.
	Lesson 3 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS2B Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems - The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Food webs model how matter and energy are transferred among producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. ESS3A: Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Cr2.2.ia: Explain how traditional and non-traditional materials may impact human health and the environment and demonstrate safe handling of materials, tools, and equipment.
	Lesson 4 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS4B Natural Selection - Natural Selection occurs only if there is variation in the genes and traits between organisms in a population. Traits that positively affect survival can become more common in a population. LS4C Adaptation - Evolution results primarily from genetic variation of individuals in a species, competition for resources and proliferation of organisms better able to survive and reproduce. Adaptation means that the distribution of traits in a population, as well as species expansion, emergence or extinction, can change when conditions change. ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: Va:Cr2.3.iia: Redesign an object, system, place, or design in response to contemporary issues.
	Lesson 5 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS4B Natural Selection - Natural Selection occurs only if there is variation in the genes and traits between organisms in a population. Traits that positively affect survival can become more common in a population. LS4C Adaptation - Evolution results primarily from genetic variation of individuals in a species, competition for resources and proliferation of organisms better able to survive and reproduce. Adaptation means that the distribution of traits in a population, as well as species expansion, emergence or extinction, can change when conditions change. ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Cr2.1.ia: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
	Lesson 6 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS4B Natural Selection - Natural Selection occurs only if there is variation in the genes and traits between organisms in a population. Traits that positively affect survival can become more common in a population. LS4C Adaptation - Evolution results primarily from genetic variation of individuals in a species, competition for resources and proliferation of organisms better able to survive and reproduce. Adaptation means that the distribution of traits in a population, as well as species expansion, emergence or extinction, can change when conditions change. ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Cr3.1.ia: Apply relevant criteria from traditional and contemporary cultural contexts to examine, reflect on, and plan revisions for works of art and design in progress.
	Lesson 7 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS4B Natural Selection - Natural Selection occurs only if there is variation in the genes and traits between organisms in a population. Traits that positively affect survival can become more common in a population. LS4C Adaptation - Evolution results primarily from genetic variation of individuals in a species, competition for resources and proliferation of organisms better able to survive and reproduce. Adaptation means that the distribution of traits in a population, as well as species expansion, emergence or extinction, can change when conditions change. ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Pr4.1.8a: Develop and apply criteria for evaluating a collection of artwork for presentation.
	Lesson 8 SCIENCE STANDARDS: LS 2A Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - Organisms and populations are dependent on their environmental interactions both with other living things and with non-living factors, any of which can limit their growth. Competitive, predatory, and mutually beneficial interactions vary across ecosystems but the patterns are shared. LS2B Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems - The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Food webs model how matter and energy are transferred among producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. LS2C Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning and Resilience. If a biological or physical disturbance to an ecosystem occurs, including one induced by human activity, the ecosystem may return to its more or less original state or become a very different ecosystem, depending on the complex set of interactions within the ecosystem ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Re.7.1.ia: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perceptions and understandings of human experiences.

VA:Cr2.3.8: Select, organize, and design images and words to make visually clear and compelling presentations.
	Lesson 10 SCIENCE STANDARDS: Science and Engineering Practices - Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information - Communicate scientific and/or technical information or ideas (e.g. about phenomena and/or the process of development and the design and performance of a proposed process or system) in multiple formats (including orally, graphically, textually, and mathematically). ART/DESIGN STANDARDS: VA:Cr2.3.ia: Collaboratively develop a proposal for an installation, artwork, or space design that transforms the perception and experience of a particular place.
