thing, classification
- processes of living &
nonliving things (organic
& inorganic)
- homeostasis
- properties of water
- Provided an experiment,
students will identify the steps of
the scientific method.

steps of the scientific method.
-illustrate the equations for
photosynthesis and cell
respiration.
-define key ecological vocabulary
-recognize ways humans impact
the environment.
-differentiate ecological
relationships

webs
-scavengers hunt, web quests,
quizzes, worksheets, tests, lab
Ecology:
- abiotic vs. biotic
- photosynthesis
- cell respiration
- heterotroph, vs.
autotrophs
- nutritional relationships
- symbiosis,
- biomes/energy flow
- food chains, food webs,
- ecological succession
- Ecological levels of
organization
- Human interactions
Assessments
-various worksheets, charades,
games
-lab practical
-worksheet including
homeostasis of all living things
