Science: Organisms and their Habitats

What students need to know:

Plant Diversity
  • Plants are diverse in size, structure, and ecological needs. 
  • Plants live in environments to which they are suited; those environments also differ: 
    • Deciduous forests (oak trees) 
    • Tropical forests (vines, epiphytes) 
    • Meadows and prairies (grasses) 
    • Deserts (cacti) 
    • Tundra (plants of small size) 
    • Ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams 
    • Oceans are home to less than a dozen known species of plants.
  • Many plant habitats change in cycles over time—seasons—and plants are adapted to survive during those changes.
 
Animal Needs
  • Adult plants and animals reproduce. 
  • Many kinds of animal parents take care of their offspring until the offspring become mature enough to care for themselves.
 
Animal Diversity
  • Animals are diverse in size, shape, and ecological needs.
    • Animals vary in their structure.
      • Invertebrates: without backbones (snails, insects, coral) 
      • Vertebrates: with backbones (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians)
    • Animals live in environments to which they are suited; those environments differ:
      • Deciduous forests (squirrels, raccoons) 
      • Tropical forests (moles, worms) 
      • Meadows and prairies (prairie dogs) 
      • Deserts (lizards, scorpions) 
      • Tundra (arctic fox, polar bears) 
      • Ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams (fish, oysters) 
      • Oceans (There are numerous species of animals in the world’s oceans, such as sea stars and whales.)
 
  • Ecosystems: Plant and Animal Relationships
  • Many plants and animals live in a specific habitat. 
  • Organisms that share a given space affect each other.
    • Animals depend on plants for food and shelter. 
    • Plants depend on animals (for example, pollination, seed dispersal).
  • There are also groups of living things that are neither plants nor animals (fungi, algae, bacteria).

October- Responsibility: Being honest and accountable in word and deed. Having a sense of duty to fulfill tasks with reliability, dependability and commitment.
