Living Systems and Processes
LS.2 All living things are composed of one or more cells, as described by the cell theory; cell structure supports life processes; cellular transport (osmosis and diffusion) is important for life processes.
Lessons: Cells: The Smallest Living Things
LS.5 Biotic and abiotic factors affect an ecosystem: energy flow is represented by food webs, and relationships exist among producers, consumers, and decomposers (an adjacent-grade match, the Life Science course).
Lessons: Our Living Planet (Can a jar keep itself alive?, Where does rain come from?) · Food Webs: Who Eats Whom?
Practice: Our Living Planet workbook · Food Webs: Who Eats Whom? workbook
LS.10 DNA has a role in making proteins that determine organism traits (partial: the strawberry DNA lesson shows DNA, not protein making).
