3 | 112.14. (b) (10) (A) | explore how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment |
3 | 112.14. (b) (10) (B) | some characteristics of organisms are inherited such as the number of limbs on an animal or flower color and recognize that some behaviors are learned in response to living in a certain environment such as animals using tools to get food |
3 | 112.14. (b) (9) | organisms have characteristics that help them survive and can describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments. |

4 | 112.15. (b) (9)(A) | most producers need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food, while consumers are dependent on other organisms for food |
5 | 112.16. (b) (10) | organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. |
5 | 112.16. (b) (10) (B) | differentiate between inherited traits of plants and animals such as spines on a cactus or shape of a beak and learned behaviors such as an animal learning tricks or a child riding a bicycle |
