STANDARD TRANSFER

The learners
demonstrate an Students will be able to independently use their
understanding of : learning to:

organisms interacting  Initiate and participate in activities that protect and

with each other and preserve ecosystems in the school.
with their environment
to survive
MEANING
UNDERSTANDINGS

Students will understand that:

1. Life is sustained on earth by the complex interaction
of organisms and their environment.

2. energy flows within ecosystems through food chains

and food webs.

3. nature maintains continuous cycles of important

nutrients and energy to keep organisms alive.

4. interactions of organisms in an ecosystem may be

beneficial, harmful, or neither.

5. interactions can affect distribution and abundance.

They can be influence evolution.

PERFORMANCE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
