| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | S:ESS1:2:1.1 | weather conditions change frequently, and that weather patterns change over the seasons. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:1.2 | plants and animals as living things and describe how they are alike and different. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:2.1 | plants and animals have features that help them survive in different environments. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:3.1 | parents and offspring of many species closely resemble one another; and describe the similarities in appearance of given plant and animal families. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:3.2 | living things have a life cycle, during which they are born, grow, and die. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:1.1 | living things can be found almost anyplace in the world; and that specific types of environments are required to support the many different species of plant and animal life. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:1.2 | animals, including humans, interact with their surroundings using their senses; and that different senses provide different kinds of information. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:1.3 | Recognize that some plants and animals go through changes in appearance when the seasons change. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:2.1 | Identify the resources plants and animals need for growth and energy, and describe how their habitat provides these basic needs. |
| 2 | S:LS3:2:3.1 | similarities and differences in both behavior and appearance of plants and animals. |
| 2 | S:LS3:2:3.2 | there are different species of living things in various places around the world. |
| 2 | S:SPS1:2:4.2 | Identify and describe patterns and relationships in observed objects and events. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4-3.4 | Predict, sequence, or compare the life stages of organisms (plants and animals): e.g., put images of life stages of an organism in order, predict the next stage in sequence, and compare two organisms. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:2.1 | living organisms have certain structures and systems that perform specific functions, facilitating survival, growth and reproduction. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:2.3 | physical structures of an organism (plants or animals) allow it to survive in its habitat/environment |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:3.1 | plant and animal characteristics that are inherited, such as eye color in humans and the shape of leaves in plants, and those that are affected by their environment, such as grass turning brown due to lack of water. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:3.2 | living organisms have life cycles, which include birth, growth and development, reproduction, and death; and explain how these life cycles vary for different organisms. |
| 4 | S:LS2:4:1.1 | Describe how the nature of an organismês environment, such as the availability of a food source, the quantity and variety of other species present, and the physical characteristics of the environment affect the organismês patterns of behavior. |
| 4 | S:LS2:4:3.2 | Describe ways plants and animals depend on each other (e.g., shelter, nesting, food). |
