Science Curriculum Mastery® Flip Charts provide comprehensive coverage of essential STARR science concepts in an illustrated format that is visually appealing, engaging and easy to use. Curriculum Mastery® Flip Charts can be used with the entire classroom, with small groups or by students working independently. HOW TO USEClassroom UseEach Curriculum Mastery® Flip Chart can be used to graphically introduce or review a topic of interest. Side 1 of each Flip Chart provides graphical representation of key concepts in a concise, grade appropriate reading level for instructing students. The reverse Side 2 of each Flip Chart allows teachers or students to summarize key concepts and assess their understanding. Note: Be sure to use an appropriate dry-erase marker and to test it on a small section of the chart prior to using it.The Activity Guide included provides a black-line master of each Flip Chart which students can use to fill in before, during, or after instruction. While the activities in the guide can be used in conjunction with the Flip Charts, they can also be used individually for review or as a form of assessment or in conjunction with any other related assignment. Learning CentersEach Flip Chart provides students with a quick illustrated view of science curriculum concepts. Students may use these Flip Charts in small group settings along with the corresponding activity pages contained in the guide to learn or review concepts already covered in class. Students may also use these charts as reference while playing the NewPath’s Curriculum Mastery® Games. Independent student useStudents can use the hands-on Flip Charts to practice and learn independently by first studying Side 1 of the chart and then using Side 2 of the chart or the corresponding graphical activities contained in the Activity Guide. Reference/Teaching resourceCurriculum Mastery® Charts are a great visual supplement to any curriculum or they can be used in conjunction with NewPath’s Curriculum Mastery® Games. STAARGrade 5 SCIENCE Assessment Review Flip Chart Organisms and Environments The student will demonstrate an understanding of the structures and functions of living organisms and their interdependence on each other and on their environment. 5.9 Organisms and environments. The student knows that there are relationships, systems, and cycles within environments. The student is expected to(A)observe the way organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting withthe living and nonliving components; Readiness Standard•Parts of an Ecosystem(B)describe the flow of energy within a food web, including the roles of the Sun,producers, consumers, and decomposers; Readiness Standard•Energy in an Ecosystem•Food Chains & Food Webs•How does an Ecosystem work?(C)predict the effects of changes in ecosystems caused by living organisms, includinghumans, such as the overpopulation of grazers or the building of highways; andSupporting Standard•Changes in Ecosystems(A)compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live andsurvive in a specific environment such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet inaquatic animals; and Readiness Standard•Inheritance of Traits5.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to (D)identify fossils as evidence of past living organisms and the nature of theenvironments at the time using models; Supporting Standard•Fossils & Dinosaurs3.9 Organisms and environments. The student knows and can describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments. The student is expected to (B)differentiate between inherited traits of plants and animals such as spines on acactus or shape of a beak and learned behaviors such as an animal learning tricks ora child riding a bicycle; Readiness Standard(A)observe and describe the physical characteristics of environments and how theysupport populations and communities of plants and animals within an ecosystem;Supporting Standard•Plant Growth•Animal Growth & Reproduction3.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to (B)investigate and compare how animals and plants undergo a series of orderlychanges in their diverse life cycles such as tomato plants, frogs, and lady beetles;Supporting Standard© Copyright NewPath Learning.

Soil provides nutrients for the plants. The atmosphere provides oxygen and carbon dioxide for both plants and animals. The Sun provides heat for plants and animals, and light for plants to make food. Water is part of all living organisms; without water there would be no life.Plants take in water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide from their environment. They use light from the Sun to make food. Animals eat plants to get energy. They drink water and breathe in oxygen to live.atmospherewaterwateroxygennutrientscarbondioxidesoil - nutrientssoil - nutrientswateroxygencarbon dioxideSun - heat & light© Copyright NewPath Learning.

All living things need energy. Ultimately, the Sun is the source of all energy in an ecosystem. Energy flows from the Sun, to producers, then to consumers and finally to decomposers.Producers, Consumers & Decomposers The living organisms in an ecosystem can be divided into three groups: producers, consumers and decomposers.Producers are living things that make their own food using light energy from the Sun. Consumers are animals that get their energy by eating other organisms.Decomposers are organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead plant and animal matter. Examples include mushrooms, bacteria and earthworms.prairie dogscoyoteferretgrasshopperrabbit© Copyright NewPath Learning.

Write the group type below each organism.Energy in an EcosystemProducers are organisms, such as plants, that make their own food. Plants use sunlight to make their own food in a process known as photosynthesis.Consumers are organisms that eat other living things in order to get energy. Consumers include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. A food web is a system of overlapping food chains. An ecosystem has many food chains. An animal can be the eaten by many different animals and therefore be a part of many different food chains.Herbivores get energy by eating only plants.Carnivores get energy by eating only other animals.Omnivores get energy by eating both plants and other animals.Many aquatic microorganisms are producers too.Food Chains and Energy FlowThe main energy source for all living things on Earth is the Sun. The process of energy being captured by plants from the Sun, and then transferred from one organism to the next in a food chain, is referred to as energy flow. As the energy is passed on from organism to organism along a food chain, the amount of energy becomes less and less. The more links on the food chain, the less energy each animal gets along the way. Sunlight and plants are the two most important things an ecosystem needs in order to always have a supply of energy. Sunenergy© Copyright NewPath Learning.

Some changes are so big that an ecosystem can die, or change into another kind of ecosystem. For example, if a fire burns most of a forest, its plant life will have to start over again. New growth will start with grass, weeds and small shrubs. Soon young trees, or saplings, will sprout, but it will be many years before there will be tall, strong trees standing in that place again. Environmental Changes & Effects On Organisms Another change that may happen because of a forest fire is that certain populations of animals will leave the area to find food and shelter elsewhere. Other populations that depend on those animals for food will also leave or die out. For example, when trees burn, squirrels and birds leave, and foxes and coyotes follow. When the plants start growing back, animals that eat them will start to return to the forest. Over time, if left alone, the forest ecosystem will come back. Life goes on, only now it’s in a new kind of environment! Next >
