Alignment to Standards for MI
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | L.HE.01.11 | Observable Characteristics- Plants and animals share many, but not all, characteristics of their parents. |
| 1 | L.HE.01.11 | Identify characteristics (for example: body coverings, beak shape, number of legs, body parts) that are passed on from parents to young. |
| 1 | L.HE.01.12 | Classify young animals based on characteristics that are passed on from parents (for example: dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, cows/calves, chicken/chicks). |
| 1 | L.OL.01.21 | Describe the life cycle of animals including the following stages: egg, young, adult; egg, larva, pupa, adult. |
| 1 | L.OL.E.2 | Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. |
| 2 | 2 _ G5.0.1 | Suggest ways people can responsibly interact with the environment in the local community. |
| 2 | 2 _ G5.0.2 | positive and negative consequences of changing the physical environment of the local community. |
| 2 | L.HE.02.13 | Identify characteristics of plants (for example: leaf shape, flower type, color, size) that are passed on from parents to young. |
| 2 | L.HE.E.1 | Observable Characteristics- Plants and animals share many, but not all, characteristics of their parents. |
| 2 | L.OL.E.2 | Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. |
| 3 | E.ES.E.5 | Humans depend on their natural and constructed environment. Humans change environments in ways that are helpful or harmful for themselves and other organisms. |
| 3 | L.EV.03.12 | characteristics and functions of observable body parts to the ability of animals to live in their environment (for example: sharp teeth, claws, color, body covers). |
| 3 | L.EV.E.1 | Different kinds of organisms have characteristics that help them to live in different environments. |
| 3 | L.OL.03.32 | Identify and compare structures in animals used for controlling body temperature, support, movement, food-getting, and protection (for example: fur, wings, teeth, claws). |
| 3 | L.OL.E.3 | Organisms have different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
| 4 | L.EC.E.1 | Organisms interact in various ways including providing food and shelter to one another: Some helpful: others are harmful to the organism and other organisms. |
| 5 | L.EV.05.11 | Explain how behavioral characteristics (adaptation, instinct, learning, habit) of animals help them to survive in their environment. |
| 5 | L.EV.05.12 | Describe the physical characteristics (traits) of organisms that help them survive in their environment. |
| 5 | L.HE.05.12 | Distinguish between inherited and acquired traits. |
| 5 | L.HE.M.1 | Inherited and Acquired Traits - The characteristics of organisms are influenced by heredity and environment. For some characteristics, inheritance is more important; for other characteristics, interactions with the environment are more important. |
