The main lesson addresses these academic content standards:
DCCS2, CS3
Reading/English Language Arts, Language for Research and Inquiry, Content Standard 3: Students use language and symbol systems to define problems and organize information. Grade 4: The student selects, locates and applies information from a variety of reference sources. The student creates simple databases and uses existing databases to search, organize and draw conclusions relating to a body of information; uses World Wide Web to research and retrieve information.
United States History
Historical Inquiry, Analysis and Judgement, Content Standard 2: Students use varied methods and sources in research and writing. Grade 5: The student identifies, analyzes and interprets primary sources. The student uses library systems and museums to acquire knowledge; use Internet, e-mail, and WWW to access, send, and receive communications, to research, to problem solve and to aid in decision making.
DCCS2, CS3
Science
Life Science, Content Standard 2: Observe, investigate, describe and classify living things; explain life cycles, diversity, adaptations, structure and function of cells and systems reproduction, heredity, interdependence, behavior, flow of energy and matter and changes over time. By the end of grade 5, the student will explain how changes in an organism's habitat are sometimes beneficial to it and sometimes harmful. By the end of grade 8, students will identify inter-relationships between organisms within an environment and the influence of physical conditions on survival.
English Language Arts
Reading/English Language Arts
Language for Research and Inquiry, Content Standard 3: Students use language and symbol systems to define problems and organize information.
MD3.0, 3.3.12, LA3.5.2, 6.0, 6.8.2
Science
Life Science (3.0): Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the dynamic nature of living things, their interactions and the results from the interactions that occur over time. Ecology: By the end of grade 3, students know and are able to: 3.3.12 explain that habitats provide basic needs, (i.e., food, water, shelter, energy) for the organisms living in them. Evolution: By the end of grade 5, students know and are able to: 3.5.7 cite evidence to support the idea that when the environment changes some plants and animals survive and reproduce and others die or move to other locations.
Environmental Science (6.0): Students use scientific skills and processes to investigate the interrelationships of the natural world and to analyze environmental issues and their solutions. Interdependence of Organisms: By the end of Grade 8, students know and are able to: 6.8.2 identify and explain the interdependency of organisms within the environment in a given ecosystem (i.e., producer/consumer, predator/prey, host/parasite).
Language Arts
Writing(3.0): Students produce informational, practical, persuasive and narrative writing that demonstrates an awareness of audience, purpose and form using stages of the writing process as needed (i.e., pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing). 3.5.2 Research: By the end of grade 5, students know and are able to understand and use the organizational features of printed texts to locate relevant information to accomplish writing tasks.
VA3.5, LS.12, LS.14, 6.9
Science
Living Systems, Grade 3, 3.5: The Student will investigate and understand relationships among organisms in aquatic and terrestrial food chains. Key concepts include: *producer, consumer, decomposer; *herbivore, carnivore, omnivore; and *predator-prey.
Life Science, Grade 7, LS.12: The student will investigate and understand the relationships between ecosystem dynamics and human activity. Key concepts include: *change in habitat size, quality and structure; *change in species competition; *population disturbances and factors that threaten and enhance species survival. LS.14: The student will investigate and understand that organisms change over time. Key concepts include: *the relationships of mutation, adaptation, natural selection and extinction;*how environmental influences, as well as genetic variation, can lead to diversity of organisms.
English
Writing, Research 6.9: The student will select the best sources for a given purpose, including atlases, dictionaries, globes, interviews, telephone directories, encyclopedias, electronic databases and the Reader's Guide.
