LIFE SCIENCE ACTIVITIES

Life Science Standards:

1. Describe the role of producers in the transfer of energy
entering ecosystems as sunlight to chemical energy
through photosynthesis.

2. Explain how almost all kinds of animals' food can be
traced back to plants.

3. Trace the organization of simple food chains and food
webs (e.g., producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
and decomposers).

4. Summarize that organisms can survive only in ecosystems
in which their needs can be met (e.g., food, water, shelter,
air, carrying capacity and waste disposal). The world has
different ecosystems and distinct ecosystems support the
lives of different types of organisms.

5. Support how an organism's patterns of behavior are
related to the nature of that organism's ecosystem,
including the kinds and numbers of other organisms
present, the availability of food and resources, and the
changing physical characteristics of the ecosystem.

6. Analyze how all organisms, including humans, cause
changes in their ecosystems and how these changes can be
beneficial, neutral or detrimental (e.g., beaver ponds,
earthworm burrows, grasshoppers eating plants, people
planting and cutting trees and people introducing a new
species).
