Upper Elementary4.1 Diversity of Life Students should know that: A great variety of kinds of living things can be sorted into groups in many ways using various features to decide which things belong to which group. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 13. Species Diversity 14. Niche 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk Features used for grouping depend on the purpose of the grouping. 4.4 Interdependence of Life Students should know that: For any particular environment, some kinds of plants and animals survive well, some do not survive as well, and some cannot survive at all. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk Insects and various other organisms depend on dead plant and animal material for food. NatureWorks Episodes11. Decomposers and ScavengersOrganisms interact with one another in various ways besides providing food. Many plants depend on animals for carrying their pollen to other plants or for dispersing their seeds. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics Changes in an organism's habitat are sometimes beneficial to it and sometimes harmful. NatureWorks Episodes14. NicheMost microorganisms do not cause disease, and many are beneficial. NatureWorks Episodes11. Decomposers and Scavengers |
4.5 Flow of Matter and Energy Students should know that: Almost all kinds of animals' food can be traced back to plants. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web ISome source of "energy" is needed for all organisms to stay alive and grow. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics Over the whole earth, organisms are growing, dying, and decaying, and new organisms are being produced by the old ones. NatureWorks Episodes11. Decomposers and Scavengers4.6 Evolution of Life Students should know that: Individuals of the same kind differ in their characteristics, and sometimes the differences give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 5. Habitat Fossils can be compared to one another and to living organisms according to their similarities and differences. Some organisms that lived long ago are similar to existing organisms, but some are quite different. |
