| 1,2 | H&SS1-2:12a | Identifying ways in which they and people in the community take care of or hurt the environment (e.g., after identifying litter in the local area, discussing why the trash is there and giving suggestions about how the problem can be helped). |
| 1,2 | H&SS1-2:12b | Participating in taking care of the environment (e.g., gardening, recycling). |
| 1,2 | S1-2:30 | the parts that make up living things (i.e., roots, stems, leaves, flowers, legs, antennae, tail, shell). |
| 1,2 | S1-2:30a. | Living things (plants and animals) are made of parts that enable survival. |
| 1,2 | S1-2:40 | comparing their physical features with those of other organisms. |
| 2,3 | H&SS3-4:11e | Locating major global physical divisions, such as continents, oceans, cardinal directions, poles, equator, tropics, Arctic and Antarctic Circles, tropical, mid-latitude and polar regions. |
