| 1,2 | S1-2:30a. | Living things (plants and animals) are made of parts that enable survival. |
| 1,2 | S1-2:35a. | All animals depend on plants. Some animals eat plants for food; other animals eat animals that eat plants. |

| 1,2 | S1-2:47a. | Change is something that happens to many things. |
| 1,2 | S1-2:49 | Identifying the natural sources of the food that is consumed on a daily basis (e.g., Bread-- wheatãflour; Sapãmaple syrup; Pastureãmeat and dairy). |
| 1,2 | S1-2:49a. | Most food comes from farms either directly as crops or through the animals that eat the crops. |
| 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. |
| 2,3 | H&SS3-4:11i | Asking appropriate geographic questions and using geographic resources to answer them (e.g., what product is produced in a region and why; atlas, globe, wall maps, reference books). |
| 2,3 | S3-4:30 | Explaining how the physical structure/characteristic of an organism allows it to survive and defend itself (e.g., The coloring of a fiddler crab allows it to camouflage itself in the sand and grasses of its environment so that it will be protected from pr |
| 2,3 | S3-4:30a | Organisms have physical characteristics that help them to survive in their environment. These structures enable an organism to: defend itself, obtain food, reproduce, eliminate waste. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:35.1 | Researching and designing a habitat and explaining how it meets the needs of the organisms that live there. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:35.1b. | Organisms can survive best only in habitats in which their needs are met. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:36 | Explaining how one organism depends upon another organism to survive. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:36a. | Organisms interact with one another in various ways besides providing food Many plants depend on animals for carrying their pollen to other plants for fertilizing their flowers). |
| 2,3 | S3-4:38 | Describing and sorting plants and animals into groups based on structural similarities and differences (e.g., All pine, spruce and evergreen trees have similar leaf structures; Spiders have eight legs, and insects have six). |
| 2,3 | S3-4:38a. | The great variety of living things can be sorted into groups in many ways using various characteristics to decide which things belong to which group. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:46.1 | Recognizing and identifying the four basic materials of the earth (i.e., rocks, soil, water, and gases). |
| 2,3 | S3-4:46.2b. | Earth materials are solid rocks, soils, water and the gases of the atmosphere. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:47a. | Waves, wind, water and ice shape and reshape the earthês land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:49 | the properties of living and non-living resources make them suitable for use by humans. |
| 2,3 | S3-4:49a. | The varied earth materials have different physical and chemical properties which make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, for growing the plants we use as food, or supporting animal life. Earth materials |
| 2,3 | S3-4:49b. | Earth materials have chemical and physical properties that make them useful as building materials, for growing plants, or for fuel. |
| PK-K | H&SSPK-K:11c | Describing or identifying a map or globe. |

| PK-K | SPK-K:49a. | Natural Resources are materials that we obtain from the living and non-living environment. |
