Life Science
Describe how heating and cooling affect Earth’s past environments. Describe the fossil evidence found that can help decode the Earth’s history.
Vocabulary- ecosystem, organism, limiting factors, competition, environment, adapt, adaptation, extinct, fossils, slow change, rapid change

Earth’s Living History: Changes in Ecosystems
I CAN:
- identify the characteristics of living things.
- sort and classify organisms by using similarities and differences between them.
- tell how a living thing uses its environment to meet its needs.
- interpret how animal behavior and adaptations are related to the environment they live in.
- describe how the kinds and numbers of other organisms present and the availability of food and resources affect animal behavior.
- use hand lenses/microscopes to identify similarities and differences between organisms by observing structures, gross anatomy, behavior patterns, habitats, and other features.
- explain how rapid changes (fire) and slow changes (climate change) affect the population of living things in an ecosystem/environment
Earth’s Non-living History: Fossils
I CAN:
- trace changes and relationships that have occurred in Ohio’s environments by using fossils and other records.
- use fossils to describe how some organisms have changed to adapt to their environments while others became extinct.
