| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.01 | classify objects as living or non-living. |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.02 | identify that most living things need water, food, light and air. |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.05 | depict movement of living things in air, water and on land. (e.g., birds flying, fish swimming, or worms burrowing in soil). |
| 2 | SC.O.2.2.01 | identify that plants and animals have different structures. |
| 2 | SC.O.2.2.02 | identify the structures of living things including their systems, and explain their functions (e.g., wings for flying, fins for swimming, or roots for support and obtaining water). |
| 2 | SC.O.2.2.05 | compare and contrast simple models of different kinds of habitats, including a forest and a stream. |
| 3 | SC.O.3.2.01 | identify the structures of living things, including their systems and explain their functions. |
| 3 | SC.O.3.2.03 | compare physical characteristics and behaviors of living organisms and explain how they are adapted to a specific environment (e.g., beaks and feet in birds, seed dispersal, camouflage, or different types of flowers). |
| 3 | SS.O.03.04.03 | recognize world geographic features (e.g., peninsulas, islands, continents, straits, mountains, rivers, deserts, oceans, seas, harbors, gulfs, forests, oases). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.01 | describe the different characteristics of plants and animals, which help them to survive in different niches and environments. |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.02 | associate the behaviors of living organisms to external and internal influences (e.g., hunger, climate, or seasons). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.03 | identify and classify variations in structures of living things including their systems and explain their functions (e.g., skeletons, teeth, plant needles, or leaves). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.05 | give examples how plants and animals closely resemble their parents and that some characteristics are inherited from the parents and others result from interaction with the environment. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.03 | identify the structures of living organisms and explain their function. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.06 | compare and contrast how the different characteristics of plants and animals help them to survive in different niches and environments including adaptations, natural selection, and extinction. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.19 | identify and describe natural landforms and explain how they change and impact weather and climate. |
| K | SC.O.K.2.02 | observe and describe the movement, growth and changes in plants and animals. |
| K | SC.O.K.2.03 | observe and describe models of plants and animals in different environments |
