Ecosystem Student Expectation
The student is expected to observe the way organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting with the living and nonliving elements.
Key Concepts
- Organisms interact with both living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) things to survive in their ecosystems.
- Plants interact with living things such as animals and other plants in complex ways that also require nonliving things, such as carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
- Animals depend on other living things, such as plants and other animals, and nonliving things, such as air and water, to survive.
- What is an ecosystem? What are the different parts of an ecosystem?
- How do the living components in an ecosystem support the other components?
- How do the nonliving components in an ecosystem support the other components?
