Systematically identifies all living and nonliving things in
a terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Draws one-directional
arrows to represent dependence. Draws two-dimensional arrows
to represent interdependence.
|
Systematically classifies, names, and compares most living
and nonliving things in a terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem.
Explanations are based on recorded observations of both
dependent and interdependent relationships:
How Plants Need Animals
How Animals Need Plants
How Plants Need Nonliving Things
How Animals Need Nonliving Things

Systematically sketches all living and nonliving things in a
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Labels in capital print
all things. Color, size, and shape all accurate. Details
represented.
