Biodiversity
7.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and environment. The student is expected to:
(A) Observe and describe how different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes, support different varieties of organisms.
(B) Describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem; and (Supporting Standard) (Aligned Standard: World Geography 4c)
7.13 Organisms and environments. The student knows that a living organism must be able to maintain balance in stable internal conditions in response to external and internal stimuli. The student is expected to:
(A) Investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment such as phototropism and fight or flight; (Aligned Standard; Bio.11b)
(B) Describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance.

Energy Transfer
7.5. Matter and energy. The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. The student is expected to:
(A) Recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. (Aligned Standard; Bio.9b; World Geography 4c)
(C) Diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids. (Supporting Standard) (Aligned Standard; Bio.12c)

Cycling of Matter
7.5. Matter and energy. The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. The student is expected to:
(B) Demonstrate and explain the cycling of matter within living systems such as in the decay of biomass in a compost bin (Aligned Standard ; Bio.12e) Below are two links & three powerpoint files that will expose you some of the fundamental concepts of cycling matter.

Succession
7.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and environment. The student is expected to
(C) Observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds. (Supporting Standard) (Aligned Standard; Bio.11d)
