| 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) |
