Unit3 Lesson 3 How Do Organisms Interact

The document is a lesson plan about how organisms interact in an ecosystem. It defines key terms like habitat, niche, ecosystem, and community. Organisms interact with each other for food and shelter. An ecosystem includes both living and nonliving things. The questions ask about how an elephant herd interacts with other populations, what matter is transported within a community, what would happen if there were too many predators, why it's important to understand nonliving things, and how one environment provides for two organisms.

Unit 3: Energy and Matter in Organisms?

Lesson 2: How Do Organisms Interact?


Standard: 5-LS1-1. Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air
and water.
5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and
to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
Lesson Summary:

 There are both living things and nonliving things in nearly every
environment. Living things, such as plants an animal, interact with other
living things for food and shelter.

 An ecosystem is a community of organisms and the environment in which they


live.
 A habitat is the place where an organism lives and can find everything it
needs to survive. Organisms also have a niche (nich), which is the role a plant
or an animal plays in its habitat.

Some organisms have a wide niche. They can live in a variety of places, eat
many foods, and be a part of many different ecosystems. Other organisms
have a narrow niche. They can live only in very specific places and eat one or
two kinds of food.
