Grades K-4
B. Life Processes 2. Most organisms require a variety of materials including food, water, air, and a suitable environment for survival. Animals obtain energy and nutrients from plants or other animals. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 9. The Wildlife Web I 10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 3. Organisms are composed of parts that work together and exhibit behaviors that ensure the survival of the whole organism. C.

Grades K-4
A. Structure/Function/Characteristics NatureWorks Episodes13. Species Diversity2. The basic unit of life is the cell. Different cells are specialized to perform various tasks. Cells of similar shape and function are 3. In living systems, from cells to biosphere, components interact within a hierarchy of organization. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 9. The Wildlife Web I 10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics Grades 5-8 B. Life Processes NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I10. The Wildlife Web II 2. In the process of photosynthesis, green plants convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich simple sugars and oxygen. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web IGrades 5-8C. Diversity NatureWorks Episodes13. Species Diversity15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk 2. Each structure in an organism is uniquely adapted to a particular function for enhancing the ability of the organism to survive. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration Grades 5-8E. Adaptation/Evolution NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 2. Changes in populations are often, but not always, driven by gradual or catastrophic changes in environmental conditions. NatureWorks Episodes12. Population Dynamics13. Species Diversity 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk 3. A successful population can adapt to NatureWorks Episodes12. Population Dynamics13. Species Diversity 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk 4. The study of fossil records and living organisms provides evidence of the appearance, diversification, and extinction of many life forms. NatureWorks Episodes12. Population Dynamics13.
