[PS3] Energy
SCI-05.PS3.01 Use models to describe how energy from the sun is converted into food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth).
Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include and food webs, diagrams, and flow charts
Disciplinary Core Ideas
The energy released [from] food was once
energy from the sun that was captured by
plants in the chemical process that forms plant
matter (from air and water). Organization for
Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms: Food
provides animals with the materials they need
for body repair and growth and the energy
they need to maintain body warmth and for
motion. (secondary)
