Third Grading Period
Understand characteristics of energy transfer and interactions of matter and energy.
Illustrate the transfer of heat energy from warmer objects to cooler ones using examples of conduction, radiation and convection and the effects that may result.
Understand the structures, processes and behaviors of plants that enable them to survive and reproduce.
Summarize the basic structures and functions of flowering plants required for survival, reproduction and defense.
