MS-LS2-2: Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
I can explain how living things interact with one another in different ecosystems.
Organisms depend on one another in many ways.
Predator-prey, competition, and symbiosis are common interactions.
Similar interactions occur in ecosystems around the world.
Interactions help shape ecosystem populations.
The number of predators and prey in an ecosystem can affect each other's populations.
Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators interact with plants in ways that benefit both the organisms and help produce much of the food we eat.
The food you eat depends on interactions among plants, animals, microorganisms, and the environment.
The insects, plants, fungi, and microorganisms in a garden interact with one another and can affect how well plants grow.
