Life Science Unit
TEKS 5.9B, 5.9A, 3.9A, 5.10A, 5.10B, 5.9C (just environments, no TEKS were “missed”)
5.9(B)describe the flow of energy within a food web, including the roles of the Sun, producers, consumers, and decomposers
Food Webs
Food webs in the Desert
Food webs in the Arctic
Food webs in the Grasslands
Food webs in the Deciduous Forests
Food webs in the Rainforest
Food webs in the Aquatic
3.9(A) observe and describe the physical characteristics of environments and how they support populations and communities of plants and animals within an ecosystem
Characteristics of an environment
Desert climate and common organisms
Arctic climate and common organisms
Grasslands climate and common organisms
Deciduous Forests climate and common organisms
Rainforest climate and common organisms
Aquatic climate and common organisms
5.10(A)compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live and survive in a specific environment such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet in aquatic animals
Adaptations
Desert plants and animals
Arctic plants and animals
Grasslands plants and animals
Deciduous Forests plants and animals
Rainforest plants and animals
Aquatic plants and animals
5.10(B) differentiate between inherited traits of plants and animals such as spines on a cactus or shape of a beak and learned behaviors such as an animal learning tricks or a child riding a bicycle
Learned/inherited traits
Desert plants and animals
Arctic plants and animals
Grasslands plants and animals
Deciduous Forests plants and animals
Rainforest plants and animals
Aquatic plants and animals
5.9(A) observe the way organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting with the living and nonliving components
Interdependency
Investigate interactions in a Desert environment
Investigate interactions in a Arctic environment
Investigate interactions in a Grasslands environment
Investigate interactions in a Deciduous Forests environment
Investigate interactions in a Rainforest environment
Investigate interactions in a Aquatic environment
5.9(C)predict the effects of changes in ecosystems caused by living organisms, including humans, such as the overpopulation of grazers or the building of highways
Changes in an ecosystem
Describe how changes in an ecosystem can affect the organisms that live there
6th Grade Science will not address the 5th Grade Science food web, adaptation, traits, and environments TEKS.
