FOSS Environments, 2nd Edition

Grades 5 - 6    

All living things depend on the conditions in their environment. The study of the relationships between one organism and its environment builds knowledge of all organisms. With this knowledge comes an awareness of limits. Changes in an environment can be hard on organisms. Such knowledge is important because humans can change environments. To do so without awareness of possible consequences can lead to disasters. The Environments module consists of six investigations that introduce students to these basic concepts in environmental biology.

FOSS expects students to:

• Develop an attitude of respect and understanding for life.
• Gain experience with the major environmental factors in terrestrial and aquatic systems.
• Conduct controlled experiments with plants to determine their tolerance.
• Determine an organism’s optimum conditions and environmental preferences.
• Organize and analyze data from experiments and investigations with plants and animals.
• Observe and describe changes in complex systems over time.Relate laboratory studies to natural systems.
• Apply mathematics in the context of science.
• Acquire vocabulary associated with environmental biology.
• Exercise language, math, and social studies skills in the context of biology investigations.
• Use scientific thinking processes to conduct investigations build explanations: observing, communicating, comparing, organizing, and relating.
