Grade | Number | Standard |
---|---|---|
1 | SC-EC 1A4a. | specific organism may interact with other organisms or with the environment (e.g., pollination, shelter, seed dispersal, camouflage, migration, hibernation, defensive mechanism |
1 | SC-EC 1AKa. | Describe how the seasons affect the behavior of plants and animals.(includes life cycle-related to seasons) |
1 | SC-LO 1D1b. | physical structures of a variety of animals (e.g., sensory organs, beaks, appendages, body covering) |
1 | SC-LO 1D1d. | Identify the relationships between the physical structures of animals and the function of those structures (e.g., taking in water, support, movement, obtaining food, reproduction |
1 | SC-LO 1D5a. | Compare structures (e.g., wings vs. fins vs. legs; gills vs. lungs; feathers vs. hair vs. scales) that serve similar functions for animals belonging to different vertebrate classes |
1 | SC-LO 1DKa. | Observe and compare the structures and behaviors of different kinds of plants and animals |
1 | SC-LO 1E1a. | Distinguish between plants and animals based on observable structures and behaviors |
2 | SC-ES 2F1d. | relationships between observed weather data and weather phenomena (e.g., temperature and types of precipitation, clouds and amounts of precipitation |
2 | SC-ES 2FKb. | Observe and describe the general weather conditions that occur during each season |
2 | SC-UN 2CKa. | Observe and describe the characteristics of the four seasons as they cycle through the year (summer, fall, winter, spring |
3 | SC-EC 3C4b. | Identify specialized structures and senses and describe how they help animals survive in their environment (e.g., antennae, body covering, teeth, beaks, whiskers, appendages |
3 | SC-EC 3C4c. | internal cues (e.g., hunger) and external cues (e.g., changes in the environment) that cause organisms to behave in certain ways (e.g., hunting, migration, hibernation |
3 | SC-EC 3C4d. | Predict which plant or animal will be able to survive in a specific environment based on its special structures or behaviors. |
