MS. DALEY'S SCIENCE WEBPAGE
Massachusetts Science Frameworks Standards
(that we are currently studying)
Give examples of ways in which organisms interact and have different functions within an ecosystem that enable the ecosystem to survive.
Explain the roles and relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in the process of energy transfer in a food web.
Explain how dead plants and animals are broken down by other living organisms and how this process contributes to the system as a whole.
Recognize that producers (plants that contain chlorophyll) use the energy from sunlight to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water through a process called photosynthesis. This food can be used immediately, stored for later use, or used by other organisms.
