Ecology-Geology

• Matter and Energy (Chapter 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17,
  18, 2)
• All organisms (and cells) need a source of
  matter. Organisms cannot create matter from
  nothing, nor can they make matter disappear.
• All the "stuff" it takes to make the body of an
  organism (or of a cell) must come from somewhere.
  Plants get "stuff" from the environment. Animals
  get it from their food.
• Three types of "building blocks"carbon,
  hydrogen, and oxygenare especially important for
  life.
• All organisms need a source of energy. Plants use
  energy from the sun animals get their energy
  from food.
• Everything an organism (or a cell) does requires
  energy. Nothing happens without energy.

• For another way of teaching something, you can go
  to unitedstreaming.com and download videos for
  your students to watch! What a great way to get
  the students interested!
