In LS2: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Relationship in Ecosystem, performance expectations are designed for students to create an understanding of how living and non-living components of an ecosystem interact and are utilized by organisms. Students should understand how matter and energy flow through ecosystems and how biotic and abiotic factors are interrelated.
