Science Curriculum
5th Grade
|
Course Purpose: |
Fifth grade students will evaluate the effects of patterns on processes or objects. |
Outcomes and Components:
| SC.5.3 | Students will investigate and describe the flow of energy through an ecosystem and verify the cause and effect relationship among interdependent organisms within food chains and food webs. | ||

Standard(s) |
| SC.5.3.1 | Use various sources/models to verify the sun as the source of all energy in a food chain. (Including the process of photosynthesis.) | 5-PS3-1 | |
| SC.5.3.2 | Relate plant growth and survival to sun, air, and water. | 5-LS1-1 | |
| SC.5.3.3 | Define producer, consumer, and decomposer and their role within an environment. | ||
| SC.5.3.4 | Illustrate the cause and effect relationship of interdependent organisms within a food chain. (producers, consumers, decomposers) | 5-LS2-1 | |
| SC.5.3.5 | Characterize the relationships among organisms (producers, consumers, and decomposers) within a food web explain how they relate to the success of an ecosystem. | 5-LS2-1 | |
| SC.5.3.6 | Construct a model to describe the movement of matter (carbon, water, nutrients) among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. | ||
