Patterns and processes of evolution. How evolution and natural selection are reflected in the similarities and differences of organisms. 

Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane, whereas animal cells have only a cell membrane. Plants use cell walls to provide structure to the plant. Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Chloroplasts allow plants to make the food they need to live using photosynthesis.

In this unit you will learn how to identify equivalent metric units of capacity.

In this online course, you will learn how to identify equivalent metric units of mass.

Food webs are models that demonstrate how matter and energy is transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. Transfers of matter into and out of the physical environment occur at every level. Decomposers recycle nutrients from dead plant or animal matter back to the soil in terrestrial environments or to the water in aquatic environments. The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem.

In this online lesson you will learn how to compare measurements that have different units.

In this unit you will learn how to convert between common metric units of measure.
