Description: TNReady test prep can be challenging without providing students with many examples to practice. This deck of Ecosystems cards is the perfect solution – it includes 10 test prep Boom cards, modeled after item sampler and practice test questions, and aligned with Tennessee state standard 4.LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics . The following TN Science standard objectives are addressed: 1) Support an argument with evidence that plants get the materials they need for growth and reproduction chiefly through a process in which they use carbon dioxide from the air, water, and energy from the sun to produce sugars, plant materials, and waste (oxygen); and that this process is called photosynthesis. 2) Develop models of terrestrial and aquatic food chains to describe the movement of energy among producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. 3) Using information about the roles of organisms (producers, consumers, decomposers), evaluate how those roles in food chains are interconnected in a food web, and communicate how the organisms are continuously able to meet their needs in a stable food web. 4) Develop and use models to determine the effects of introducing a species to, or removing a species from, an ecosystem and how either one can damage the balance of an ecosystem. 5) Analyze and interpret data about changes in the environment and describe what mechanisms organisms can use to affect their ability to survive and reproduce.
