2 | S2L1. | Students will investigate the life cycles of different living organisms. |
2 | S2L1. a. | Determine the sequence of the life cycle of common animals in your area: a mammal such as a cat or dog or classroom pet, a bird such as a chicken, an amphibian such as a frog, and an insect such as a butterfly. |
2 | S2L1. b. | Relate seasonal changes to observations of how a tree changes throughout a school year. |
3 | S3L1. a. | Differentiate between habitats of Georgia (mountains, marsh/swamp, coast, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean) and the organisms that live there. |
3 | S3L1. c. | Identify features of animals that allow them to live and thrive in different regions of Georgia. |
3 | S3L1. d. | Explain what will happen to an organism if the habitat is changed. |
3 | S3L2. | recognize the effects of pollution and humans on the environment. |
3 | S3L2. a. | Explain the effects of pollution (such as littering) to the habitats of plants and animals. |
3 | S3L2. b. | Identify ways to protect the environment: conservation of resources, recycling of materials |
4 | S4CS4. c. | Identify patterns of change in thingsãusing records, tables, or graphs of measurements where appropriate. Sunrise/moonrise/tide tables (online teaching activities) |
4 | S4L1. c. | Predict how changes in the environment would affect a community (ecosystem) of organisms. |
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.). |
4 | S4L2. b. | Identify factors that may have led to the extinction of some organisms. (reasons for threatened/endangered/conservation issues) |
5 | S5CS4. c. | Identify patterns of change in thingsãusing records, tables, or graphs of measurements where appropriate. Sunrise/moonrise/tide tables (online teaching activities) |
5 | S5L2. | Students will recognize that offspring can resemble parents in inherited traits and learned behaviors. |
5 | S5L2. a. | Compare and contrast the characteristics of learned behaviors and of inherited traits. |
K | SKCS4.c | Compare very different sizes (large/small), ages (parent/baby), speeds (fast/slow), and weights (heavy/light) of both manmade and natural things. |
K | SKCS5.A | Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion. |
K | SKE1. | Students will describe time patterns (such as day to night and night to day) and objects (such as sun, moon, stars) in the day and night sky. |
K | SKL1. b | Group animals according to their observable features such as appearance, size, motion, where it lives, etc. (Example: A green frog has four legs and hops. A rabbit also hops.) |
