  It is expected that students will:      
304-2 identify the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers in a local ecosystem, and describe both their diversity and their interactions Producers, Consumers, Decomposers, Food Chains, Web Energy, Food Web Game, Photosynthesis, Organisms, Migration Organisms, Botany: Fungi  
304-6 explain that growth and reproduction depend on cell division     Cellular Division
304-7 explain structural and functional relationships between and among cells, tissues, organs and systems in the human body     Anatomy section
304-8 relate the needs and functions of various cells and organs to the needs and functions of the human organism as a whole     Anatomy section
304-9 describe the basic factors that affect the functions and efficiency of the human respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and nervous systems     Anatomy section: respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and nervous systems
304-10 describe examples of the interdependence of various systems of the human body     Anatomy section has links between systems to show how they are interdependent
304-11 illustrate and describe the basic process of cell division, including what happens to the cell membrane and the contents of the nucleus     Cellular division: mitosis, meiosis
306-1 describe how energy is supplied to, and how it flows though, a food web Food Chain, Web Energy, Producers, Consumers, Decomposers, Food Web Game, Organisms, Migration    
306-2 describe how matter is recycled in an ecosystem through interactions among plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms Food Chain, Web Energy, Producers, Consumers, Decomposers, Food Web Game, Organisms, Migration, Nutrient Cycles, Photosynthesis Productivity, Soils & Decomposition, Organisms  
306-3 describe interactions between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem Nutrient Cycles, Photosynthesis, Web Energy, Food Chains    
306-4 identify signs of ecological succession in a local ecosystem   Succession
