Science Unit 2 - Ecology
Student Learning Expectations:
1) Interpret a food web which describes energy relationships among a population - identifying producers, consumers, and decomposers.
2) Analyze factors that contribute to changes in a population.
3) Identify the sun as the main source of energy in an ecosystem and how energy is converted into sugar through photosynthesis.

Science Unit 3 - Force & Motion
Student Learning Expectations:
1. Describe
the motion of an object by its position, direction of motion and speed.
2. Create and analyze charts and graphs
which represent the motion of an object.
3. Recognize and describe Newton’s three laws of motion: Law of Inertia, relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, and
action-reaction with two objects.
