How are students being evaluated? Just teacher observation?
This link leads to a pdf to a lesson plan that is appropriate for grades K-4. It is a very thorough and detailed lesson plan. It has every part of a lesson plan you could want, except for the specific parts of the standards listed. It does have the basic parts of the standards listed. Even though the specifics are important, I am sure one could find them.
This lesson would be a great way to study ecosystems.
