| Grade | Discipline | Core Idea |
|---|---|---|
| 3-5 | LS2.B: Cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems | Matter cycles between the air and soil and among organisms as they live and die. |
| 6-8 | LS2.B: Cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems | The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Food webs model how matter and energy are transferred among producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. |
