Students will: Explain differences between biotic & abiotic
factors. Explain why biodiversity is important. Explain that the earth is made up of many different
ecosystems. Explain autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition. Explain how producers, consumers, and decomposers
interact. Explain how all of the above factors interact to
maintain the stability of the ecosystem. |
Ecology Interaction & interdependence Scientific
inquiry, CEI |
Living things are both different from each other and
from nonliving things. Plants and animals depend on each other and their
physical environment |
Designs and carries out a
controlled, scientific experiment.
