| 1 | S1CS5. a | Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion. |
| 1 | S1L1. d. | Compare and describe various animalsãappearance, motion, growth, basic needs. |
| 2 | S2CS4.d. | Compare very different sizes, weights, ages (baby/adult), and speeds (fast/slow) of both human made and natural things. |
| 2 | S2CS5. a. | Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion. |
| 4 | S4L1. | Students will describe the roles of organisms and the flow of energy within an ecosystem. |
| 4 | S4L1. a. | Identify the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in a community. |
| 4 | S4L2. | identify factors that affect the survival or extinction of organisms such as adaptation, variation of behaviors (hibernation), and external features (camouflage and protection). |
| 4 | S4L2. a. | Identify external features of organisms that allow them to survive or reproduce better than organisms that do not have these features (for example: camouflage, use of hibernation, protection, etc.). |
| 5 | S5L1. | classify organisms into groups and relate how they determined the groups with how and why scientists use classification. |
