Unit #: 2 – From Matter to Organisms Grade: 5 Unit of Study: PE’s: From Matter to Organisms 5-LS1-1 5-LS2-1 5-PS3-1 Storyline: DCI’s: Students make models that trace the flow of energy and LS1.A matter in ecosystems. They investigate the needs of plants LS1.B and gather evidence that all organisms produce waste. LS1.C They explain how animals depend upon one another as PS3.D components in an interconnected system Anchoring Phenomena: Matter changes through energy flow to SEP’s: create organisms and maintain ecosystems. Engaging in Argument from Evidence Developing and Using Models Essential Questions: CC’s: What matter do plants need to grow? Energy and Matter How does matter move within an ecosystem? Systems and System Models How does energy move within an ecosystem?
