• Essential Understandings
• We can compare and contrast living, nonliving and
  dead materials based on their similarities and
  differences
• Plants and animals have life cycles and they grow
  and change
• Flowers, fruits and seeds have parts that perform
  specific functions
• Factors affect seed germination and growth
• Biotic potential is the maximum population
  increase under ideal conditions
• Biotic potential is limited by environmental
  factors such as competition for food water,
  natural disasters, prey, parasites and disease
• Dead organisms decompose
