Big Ideas
  • The stability and change in objects, organisms, and systems are influenced by various internal and external factors or conditions.
  • Understanding how these factors or conditions impact stability and change helps us predict, explain, and influence outcomes in scientific systems.
Essential Questions
  • What factors or conditions can influence the stability of objects, organisms, or systems?
  • How do changes in certain conditions lead to changes in the stability of a system?
  • Why is it important to understand the relationship between stability and change in science?
  • Can the same factor cause both stability and change in different systems? How?
  • How can analyzing factors and conditions help us prevent or encourage change in systems?
