Organisms and Environments

4.9A: Investigate that most producers need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food, while consumers are dependent on other organisms for food.

4.9B: Describe the flow of energy through food webs, beginning with the Sun, and predict how changes in the ecosystem affect the food web.

4.10A: Explore how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their environment.

4.10B: Explore and describe examples of traits that are inherited from parents to offspring, such as eye color and shapes of leaves and behaviors that are learned such as reading a book and a wolf pack teaching their pups to hunt effectively.

4.10C: Explore, illustrate, and compare life cycles in living organisms such as beetles, crickets, radishes, or lima beans.
