Wildlife Roadkill and the Road Most Traveled
In the unit, students will identify ways abiotic and biotic components work together in an ecosystem and what happens when it's disrupted through a analyzing wildlife roadkill in Arizona. Students will analyze graphs through the Arizona Department of Transportation Wildlife Roadkill report and look for hotspot trends in different districts and counties in Arizona, by sorting data. They will look in Google Maps and identify reasons why that location might attract wildlife by making inferences and using data and reasoning. Finally, they will using the engineering design process to design a model of a Wildlife Crossing bridge which can be a solution to help with wildlife roadkill hotspots.
