GRADE BAND THEME: INTERCONNECTIONS WITHIN SYSTEMS
This theme focuses on helping students explore the components of various systems and then investigate dynamic and sustainable relationships within systems using scientific inquiry.
STRANDS
Strand Connections: Cycles on Earth, such as those occurring in ecosystems, in the solar system, and in the movement of light and sound result in describable patterns. Speed is a measurement of movement. Change in speed is related to force and mass. The transfer of energy drives changes in systems, including ecosystems and physical systems.
Topic: Interactions within Ecosystems
This topic focuses on foundational knowledge of the structures and functions of ecosystems.
