In this lesson, children become familiar with Houston ecosystems and how the living organisms in that ecosystem depend on each other. Children will be able to identify and describe the different ecosystems of the Houston area, and compare, analyze, describe, and predict how the living organisms in the Houston ecosystems use adaptive characteristics to survive. Children will later be able to further explore plants in their visit to the EcoStation exhibit. Aligned with Common Core Standards: W.5.7 , SL.5.4 , SL.5.5
