In this lesson, students will describe and identify the survival needs for both plants and animals.

• Students will describe and identify the survival needs for both plants and animals.
• Students will simulate what will happen to a population when limiting factors in its environment are manipulated.
• Students will match an animal with its appropriate feeding type, water requirements, and living space.
• Students will analyze the impact humans have had on different environments.

• Biomes
• Carnivore
• Herbivore
• Limiting Factors
• Autotroph

In this lesson, students will analyze the different limiting factors that allow an organism to thrive in a particular environment.

As a result, students will:

• Understand that there are different biomes on Earth, each with its own unique limiting factors which provide specific species what they need to survive.
• Manipulate environmental factors and analyze what happens to a population if placed in an unsuitable environment.
• Evaluate the impact humans have had on different biomes.
