S5L1. Students will classify
organisms into groups and
relate how they
determined the groups
with how and why
scientists use
classification.

roles of producers,
consumers, and
decomposers in a
community.
b. Demonstrate
the flow of energy
through a food

Predict how
changes in the
environment would
affect a community

organisms such as
adaptation,
variation of
behaviors
(hibernation), and
external features
(camouflage and
protection).
a. Identify external
features of
organisms that
allow them to
survive or
reproduce better
than organisms
that do not have
these features (for
example:
camouflage, use of
hibernation,
