Energy and Matter in the Living World
Grade 5 - Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of how energy flows and matter cycles through food webs. They explore how plants use energy from the Sun to produce matter that serves as the basis for many food webs. Students also learn that the energy and matter stored in plants is transferred to primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers, and that even the energy used by top predators in an ecosystem can be traced back to the Sun.
