Grade 4 Science: Unit 2. We Are Connected

This unit explores the intricate connections within ecosystems, focusing on how living organisms rely on their habitats and each other to survive.

Key Topics Covered:

• Ecosystem Interactions: Students will explore various habitats and learn how living things interact with non-living elements, such as sunlight, water, and soil.
• Food Chains: The unit introduces the concept of food chains to clearly illustrate the feeding relationships between plants and different animals.
• Habitat Loss & Conservation: Students will examine the threats to natural environments driven by both natural events (like tsunamis) and human activities (like pollution and land reclamation). It encourages them to understand the importance of biodiversity and develop practical conservation strategies to protect these vital ecosystems.
