insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for
identification.
7.10 A – Observe and describe how different
environments, including microhabitats in school
yards and biomes, support different varieties of
organisms

the sustainability of an ecosystem
7.10 C – Observe, record, and describe the role of
ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of
a garden with weeds.
7.12 A - Investigate and explain how internal
structures of organisms have adaptations that
allow specific functions.
7.11 B – Explain variation within a population or
species by comparing external features,
behaviors, or physiology of organisms that
enhance their survival such as migration,
