| 5-Mar | LS:3-5.5 | observed characteristics of plants and animals that are fully inherited (e.g., color of flower, shape of leaves, color of eyes, number of appendages) and characteristics that are affected by the climate or environment (e.g., browning |
| 5-Mar | LS:3-5.6 | adaptations to changes in the environment that enable organisms to survive, e.g., shape of beak or feet, placement of eyes on head, length of neck, shape of teeth, color. |
| 5-Mar | LS:3-5.8 | organisms meet needs in an environment by using behaviors in response to information (stimuli) received from the environment. |
| PK-2 | LS:PK-2.1 | animals (including humans) and plants are living things that grow, reproduce, and need food, air, and water. |
| PK-2 | LS:PK-2.3 | plants and animals have life cycles, and that life cycles vary for different living things. |
| PK-2 | LS:PK-2.4 | Describe ways in which many plants and animals closely resemble their parents in observed appearance. |
| PK-2 | LS:PK-2.8 | an organismês habitat provides for its basic needs (plants require air, water, nutrients, and light; animals require food, water, air, and shelter). |
