This NGSS-aligned performance task is designed for the second 5E learning sequence in Unit 4: Saving the Mountain Lion, part of the New Visions for Public Schools Science Curriculum. In this engaging and editable activity, students investigate genetic variation within a population and explain how a lack of diversity can put an entire species at risk. Students analyze simulated data to assess the health and viability of an isolated mountain lion population, using their findings to construct

In this engaging engineering-focused performance task, students take on the role of conservation scientists tasked with restoring gene flow to an isolated mountain lion population. Aligned with the third 5E learning sequence in Unit 4: Saving the Mountain Lion from the New Visions for Public Schools Science Curriculum, this task helps students apply their understanding of genetics, heredity, and natural selection to solve a real-world problem. Using data, background information, and creati

Launch your Unit 4: Saving the Mountain Lion storyline with this engaging Opening Performance Task, designed to introduce students to the key concepts of genetics, genetic variation, and conservation biology. Based on the New Visions for Public Schools Science Curriculum, this editable resource includes carefully selected readings, guiding questions, and a writing prompt that immerses students in the real-world problem of declining genetic diversity in an isolated mountain lion population. T

This editable performance task is designed for the first 5E sequence in Unit 4: Saving the Mountain Lion from the New Visions for Public Schools Science Curriculum. In this NGSS-aligned activity, students create a cause-and-effect model to explain how environmental changes—like habitat fragmentation—have impacted a real mountain lion population's health, movement, and long-term survival. This task supports student sensemaking by connecting observable patterns in ecosystems to underlying mec

Wrap up your Unit 4: Saving the Mountain Lion storyline with this comprehensive Final Solution Design Task, where students synthesize everything they’ve learned about genetics, gene flow, and biodiversity to engineer a long-term solution for conserving an at-risk mountain lion population. Aligned with the New Visions for Public Schools Science Curriculum and NGSS performance expectations, this culminating task challenges students to combine science knowledge, real-world data, and creative th
