Life science unit
In this unit we are expanding on ideas previously taught in 4th and 5th grade regarding food chains, food webs, how energy transfers between organisms.

SPI 0607.2.1 Classify organisms as producers, consumers, scavengers, or decomposers according to their role in a food chain or food web.
SPI 0607.2.2 Interpret how materials and energy are transferred through an ecosystem.
SPI 0607.2.3 Identify the biotic and abiotic elements of the major biomes.
SPI 0607.2.4 Identify the environmental conditions and interdependencies among organisms found in the major biomes.

Symbiosis
Three types of symbiotic relationships;
Commensalism- One species benefits, the other is not helped or harmed.
Mutualism- Both benefit from each other.
Parasitism- One is helped, one is harmed.
