A. Plants and animals, including humans, interact with and depend upon each other and their environment to satisfy their basic needs.

B. Both human activities and natural events can have major impacts on the environment.

C. Energy flows from the sun through producers to consumers.

See K-5 Lesson plan – this is a supplement to it. Provide students with copies of the pet foods

data table and pet pictures. Students sort pet pictures into groups: carnivore,

omnivore, herbivore Students create food chains using picture cards
