Students learn what adaptations are and how they enable organisms to survive in specific environments.
Students learn how producers and consumers interact in a food chain.
By the end of fourth grade, students will develop an understanding of living things and environments. Students make a bottle aquarium for a pond snail. Students observe the snail in this habitat and infer that the snail's needs were met. Students will complete Lab Manual pages 11-12 as they do this activity. Students construct an apparatus that allows them to observe how quickly water passes through the leaves of jade and coleus plants.
