The importance of water as the solvent in which life originated motivates an exploration of the range of precipitation and temperature conditions of different environments (biomes). This leads to an investigation of how life works, especially how structure relates to function across a range of conditions (Topics: \u00a0SA\/V, Gradients, Membrane Transport, Thermoregulation, Osmoregulation).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sea to shore engagement slides\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/8iFqicDHOg4EZ7\" width=\"427\" height=\"356\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px; max-width: 100%;\" allowfullscreen> <\/iframe> <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"> <strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ibis_curriculum\/sea-to-shore-engagement-slides\" title=\"Sea to shore engagement slides\" target=\"_blank\">Sea to shore engagement slides<\/a> <\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ibis_curriculum\" target=\"_blank\">ibis_curriculum<\/a><\/strong> <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start with the question \u201cIs there life on Mars?\u201d Use the question \u201cWhy is water so important in the search for signs of life on Mars?\u201d to motivate an exploration of \u201cWhy is liquid water so important for life?\u201d (Topics: \u00a0Life, Chemistry).
