How do scientists investigate the world around us? Quarter 1 KEY CONCEPT 1. Scientists use observations and questions to approach problems in the world. Scientists design and conduct experiments to learn about the world around us. Scientists examine evidence to answer questions. Scientific knowledge changes over time. Tables and graphs are used to organize data and help make conclusions. Scientists share their experimental results to help expand scientific knowledge. FOCUS CONTENT Lab equipment and safety Measurement Hypotheses Controlled experiments Variables Graphing Fields of science Development of scientific knowledge Scientific theories and laws Analyzing data Developing conclusions Communicating scientific findings BENCHMARKS SC.7.N.1.1 SC.7.N.1.2 SC.7.N.1.3 SC.7.N.1.4 SC.7.N.1.5 SC.7.N.1.6 SC.7.N.1.7 SC.7.N.2.1 SC.7.N.3.1

How do living things depend on each other and the environment? KEY CONCEPT 1. Ecosystems balance living and nonliving things. Food chains and webs show how energy flows through an ecosystem. Organisms can help or harm each other. Populations can change over time. Human activity can change ecosystems. FOCUS CONTENT Level of environmental organization Trophic levels Food chains and webs Symbiosis Competition Limiting factors Conserving natural resources Level of environmental organization BENCHMARKS SC.7.N.1.1 SC.7.E.6.6 SC.7.L.17.1 SC.7.L.17.2 SC.7.L.17.3
