involved when these changes occur. In effect,

no new substances are formed.

• Students learn how the body breaks down

4th Grading Living food into forms that can be absorbed through
Things and the digestive system and transported to cells.
their They learn that gases are exchange through
Environment the respiratory system. This provides the
oxygen needed by cells to release the energy
stored in food. They also learn that dissolved
wastes are removed through the urinary
system; solid wastes are eliminated through
the excretory system.
• Students learn the process of cell division
by mitosis and meiosis. They understand that
meiosis is an early step in sexual
reproduction that leads to variation.
• Students learn that species refers to a
group of organisms that can mate with one
another to produce fertile offspring. They
learn that biodiversity is the collective variety
of species living in an ecosystem. This serves
as an introduction to the topic on hierarchical
taxonomic system.
• Students learn how energy is transformed
and how materials are cycled in ecosystems.
