Big Idea 5 - Organisms require a supply of energy and materials for which they often depend on or compete with other organisms. by Neil https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs en-us 2018-01-15 19:04:33 UTC 2025-12-18 14:31:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png Progression Towards the Big Idea: Ages 11-14. e5108367 https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515316 This concept has been summarised for you below. You need to describe an age appropriate learning activity to explore this concept:

Plant species have adaptations to obtain the water, light, minerals and space they need to grow and reproduce in particular locations characterised by climatic, geological and hydrological conditions. If conditions change, the plant populations may change, resulting in changes to animal populations.]]> 2018-01-15 19:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515316 Progression Towards the Big Idea: Ages 11-14. e5108367 https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515317 This concept has been summarised for you below. You need to describe an age appropriate learning activity to explore this concept:

In any given ecosystem there is competition among species for the energy resources and the 
materials they need to live. The persistence of an ecosystem depends on the continued 
availability in the environment of these energy resources and materials.

You need to describe an age appropriate learning activity to explore this concept:

Some animals are dependent on plants in other ways as well as for food, for example for shelter and, in the case of human beings, for clothing and fuel. 

Plants also depend on animals in various ways. For example, many flowering plants depend on insects for pollination and on other animals for dispersing their seeds.

You need to describe an age appropriate learning activity to explore this concept:

Animals are ultimately dependent on plants for their survival. The relationships among organisms can be represented as food chains and food webs. ]]> 2018-01-15 19:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515320 Progression Towards the Big Idea: Ages 7-11. e5108367 https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515321 This concept has been summarised for you below. You need to describe an age appropriate learning activity to explore this concept:

Plants containing chlorophyll can use sunlight to make the food they need and can store food that they do not immediately use. Animals need food that they can break down, which comes either directly by eating plants (herbivores) or by eating animals (carnivores) which have eaten plants or other animals.

All living things need food as their source of energy as well as air, water and certain temperature conditions.]]> 2018-01-15 19:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/e5108367/o4nlzjozgcs/wish/221515322
