Syllabus Week 8 October 20-24

Life Science- Week 8

Notes of Interest:This week we will be exploring Energy! Food is energy rich organic matter that organisms need to conduct their life processes; measured in Kilocalories. Photosynthesis is the process by which energy-rich molecules (food) are made from water, carbon dioxide and light. And feeding relationships define trophic levels: producers, consumers, and decomposers.  Students will be able to: Explain how organisms get the energy they need for life, discuss how photsynthesis makes energy available to organisms, describe how energy moves from one trophic level to another in an ecosyste. And describe how every activity undertaken by living organisms.
