| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SC.O.1.1.03 | changes in the environment: life cycles, motion of celestial objects, or sun and shadow |
| 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). |
| 1,2 | SS.O.01& 02.04.04 | examples of basic natural resources and how people use these resources. |
| 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). |
| 3,4 | SC.S.3&4.3c | observe and identify patterns of change, consistency or regularity within the environment. |
| 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.0.4.2.03 | 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.0.4.2.06 | identify human uses of plants and animals (e.g., food sources, or medicines). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.08 | construct and explain models of habitats, food chains, and food webs. |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.31 | explain the effects of alignment of earth, moon and sun on the earth. |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.34 | compare ocean water and fresh water. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.01 | interconnections of biological, earth and space, and physical science concepts. |
| 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. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.23 | identify resources as being renewable or non-renewable. |
| 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 |
| K | SC.O.K.3.02 | observe and point out that change occurs gradually, repetitively, or randomly within the environment. |
| K-5 | SC.S.K-5.2a | interrelationships: physics, chemistry, biology and earth and space sciences (effect of natural disasters/seasons on living things, change in environment) |
| K-5 | SS.O.WV.04.06 | compare and contrast the characteristics of renewable and nonrenewable resources. |
