| 2 | S:LS1:2:2.1 | plants and animals have features that help them survive in different environments. |
| 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:LS2:2:2.1 | Identify the resources plants and animals need for growth and energy, and describe how their habitat provides these basic needs. |

| 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: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. |
