3A: Create examples of food chains and webs in several types of ecosystems, e.g. deciduous forest, fresh water, desert, etc. 3B: Describe and give examples of the various types of interactions that occur among organisms (e.g. predator-prey, symbiotic, producer-consumer-decomposer, host-parasite) to demonstrate how organisms compete or cooperate with each other to gain food, resources or space 3B: Identify and describe the basic requirements for sustaining life, e.g. plants and animals need food for energy and growth 3B: Identify and describe examples of New Hampshire animals and plants that live together in one ecosystem, e.g. forest, seashore, lake, river, stream 3D: Observe and describe major characteristics of various life forms, e.g. microorganisms, fungi, protists, plants and animals 3D: Compare and contrast life processes in plants and animals, e.g. growth and development, nutrition, reproduction, etc. 6A: Identify and describe the essentials parts of any object or system 6A: Relate structure and function of parts of any object in a system to the system as a whole 6A: Describe the interrelationships among the parts of an object or system FOREST This lesson focuses on the diverse community of organisms in the forest and how nutrients are cycled through them and their environment.
