| Analyzing and interpreting data Mean mycelial diameter is used to determine whether fungal growth is supported or inhibited. | LSI-C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms Fungi are heterotrophs that break down organic matter to acquire matter and energy. | Patterns There are specific food items and their components that tend to support or inhibit fungal growth. |
| Constructing explanations Hypothesize whether fast-food components will support or inhibit fungal growth. | Structure and Function Fungi are composed of filamentous hyphae that maximize surface area:volume ratio. | |
| Engaging in argument from evidence Defend or critique the claim that fast food does not decompose. | ||
| Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Evaluate the accuracy of the mold myth and similar online claims. |
