Florida Science Standards |
Processes of Life Standard 1: The student describes patterns of structure and function in living things. 2.knows how all animals depend on plants. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I3.knows that living things are different but share similar structures. NatureWorks Episodes13. Species Diversity4.knows that similar cells form different kinds of structures. Standard 2: The student understands the process and importance of genetic diversity. NatureWorks EpisodesAll Animals Focus Sections

How Living Things Interact with Their EnvironmentStandard 1: The student understands the competitive, interdependent, cyclic nature of living things in the environment. 1.knows ways that plants, animals, and protists interact. NatureWorks Episodes6. Marine Communities7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 9. The Wildlife Web I 10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics 14. Niche 2.knows that living things compete in a climatic region with other living things and that structural adaptations make them fit for an environment. NatureWorks Episodes6. Marine Communities7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities 9. The Wildlife Web I 10. The Wildlife Web II 11. Decomposers and Scavengers 12. Population Dynamics 14. Niche 3.knows that green plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight energy to turn minerals and nutrients into food for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I4.knows that some organisms decompose dead plants and animals into simple minerals and nutrients for use by living things and thereby recycle matter. NatureWorks Episodes11. Decomposers and Scavengers5.knows that animals eat plants or other animals to acquire the energy they need for survival. NatureWorks Episodes9. The Wildlife Web I10. The Wildlife Web II 6.knows that organisms are growing, dying, and decaying and that new organisms are being produced from the materials of dead organisms. NatureWorks Episodes11. Decomposers and Scavengers7.knows that variations in light, water, temperature, and soil content are largely responsible for the existence of different kinds of organisms and population densities in an ecosystem. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat6. Marine Communities 7. Fresh Water Communities 8. Terrestrial Communities Standard 2: The student understands the consequences of using limited natural resources. 1.knows that all living things must compete for Earth's limited resources; organisms best adapted to compete for the available resources will be successful and pass their adaptations (traits) to their offspring. NatureWorks Episodes1. Adaptation2. Coloration 3. Natural Communication 4. Migration 12. Population Dynamics 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk 2.knows that the size of a population is dependent upon the available resources within its community. NatureWorks Episodes12. Population Dynamics15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk 3.understands that changes in the habitat of an organism may be beneficial or harmful. NatureWorks Episodes5. Habitat14. Niche 15. Invasive Species 16. Life at Risk
