“I Can” Study Guide Unit 3-3 1. I can relate the Earth to a system with variables placed into spheres based on their characteristics 2. I can elaborate on the simple and complex interactions between earth’s spheres with examples 3. I can distinguish between biotic and abiotic factors in a natural setting 4. I can describe ecosystems using the proper terminology and vocabulary 5. I can characterize the specific relationships between the factors in an ecosystem 6. I can model the operation of food chains and webs with examples 7. I can incorporate the idea of biomes when describing and comparing areas on our planet 8. I can model cycles in nature step by step and summarize causes and effects I can summarize modern Cell Theory and the function of various organelles 10. I can compare and contrast Animal Cells and Plant Cells 11. I can compare and contrast Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes 12. I can describe methods of reproduction and differentiate between Mitosis and Meiosis 13. I can use an energy pyramid to trace the flow of energy in our solar system and planet 14. I can identify where and how energy is processed by organisms 15. I can outline the specific chemistry of cell respiration and photosynthesis 16. I can cite evidence that living systems follow the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy. 17. I can describe how and why seasons occur on our planet and variance due to location and tilt “I Can” Study Guide Unit 3-3 1.
