In science, we have started chapter 6 on
Lesson 1-"How Do Organisms Compete and Survive in an Ecosystem?"
Ask your child what symbiosis is? Have them name the three types of symbiosis and what they are.
Answer: Symbiosis-A relationship between different kinds of organisms.
Types:
mutualism-relationship where they both help each other (ants and aphids)
commensalism-only one organism benefits and the other isn't affected (shark and remora) parasitism-one organism benefits but the other is harmed (flea (parasite), human (host))
Lesson 2-"How Do Ecosystems Change over Time?"
Lesson 3-"How Do People Affect Ecosystems?"
