INTERDEPENDENCE OF LIVING THINGS IN
THEIR ECOSYSTEMS
Lesson #1 - What is a Food Web?
Objectives: Students will be able to identify the
different components or elements that comprise a
Food Web. Students will describe how plants and
animals are interconnected in their biomes.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Application
M.Intelligence: Verbal/Linguistic
Additives: Grouping Objects
Assessment: Students should creatively show the
interconnectedness between plants and animals,
producers and consumers, in a Food Web. They
should illustrate biomes within an ecosystem.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 -3 will be used.
Lesson #2 - What is a Food Chain?
Objectives: Students will be able to trace the path of
energy that food chains follow as animals find food.
Students will know the difference between
herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Analysis
M.Intelligence: Intrapersonal and Interpersonal
Additives: Grouping Objects
Assessment: Students will be assessed on their
ability for organizing and categorizing consumers as
either herbivores, carnivores or omnivores. They
should know the path of energy of the food chain.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 – 3 will be used.
Lesson #6 - What is an Ecosystem?
Lesson #3 - What are Producers?
Objectives: Students will be able to identify
and describe different types of biomes that
make up an ecosystem.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Analysis, Knowledge
M .Intelligence: Visual, Verbal
Additives: Grouping Objects.
Assessment: Students will be assessed on their
ability to correctly label and group organisms,
plants, and animals into their biomes, then
subsequently group them into their
ecosystems.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 -3 will be used
Objectives: Students will be able to
demonstrate why plants are called Producers
and the process of Photosynthesis.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Application, Synthesis
M.Intelligence: Visual, Spatial, Logical
Additives: Glass Container for Plants & Seeds.
Assessment: Students will be assessed on their
ability to produce plants from plant seeds by
utilizing light energy from the Sun, thus
demonstrating their ability to solve problems by
applying the acquired knowledge they have.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 -3 will be used.
Lesson #5 - What are Decomposers?
Lesson #4 - What are Consumers?
Objectives: Students will understand and gain
knowledge of the interaction and interdependence of
various organisms in the environment and that some
interactions are beneficial while others are
detrimental to the organism and other organisms.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Knowledge, Comprehension
M.Intelligence: Naturalist, Interpersonal
Additives: Scavenger Hunt; Web 2.0 tool.
Assessment: Students will work in groups of threes
and will be assessed on their work on the Scavenger
Hunt, as well as how well they were able to
manipulate the interactive Web 2.0 tool.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 – 3 will be used.
Objectives: Students will organize and classify the
animals that are consumers into different
categories such as birds, fish, etc. and then under
birds they will then use the hands-on task of
grouping to differentiate types of birds.
Bloom’s Taxonomy: Analysis, Evaluation
M.Intelligence: Verbal, Linguistic
Additives: Graphic Organizer
Assessment: Students will be assessed on their
ability to classify and group different consumers
and on their ability to utilize a graphic organizer for
this lesson.
Quantifiable Rubric: Scale 1 – 3 will be used.
