The cycle of energy is important to many different systems on Earth. Scholars use questioning and observation to investigate the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources and how they relate to global changes. They identify characteristics of the processes of photosynthesis and respiration with a text reading. They also explore waves and other media and their relevance to digital and analog signals by studying relevant images and diagrams.
