Alignment to Standards for MI
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | L.HE.01.11 | Identify characteristics (for example: body coverings, beak shape, number of legs, body parts) that are passed on from parents to young. |
| 1 | L.OL.E.2 | Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. |
| 2 | L.HE.02.13 | Identify characteristics of plants (for example: leaf shape, flower type, color, size) that are passed on from parents to young. |
| 2 | L.OL.02.14 | Identify the needs of plants. |
| 2 | L.OL.E.2 | Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. |
| 3 | E.ES.03.51 | humans are dependent on the natural environment (forests, water, clean air, earth materials) and constructed environments (homes, neighborhoods, shopping malls, factories, and industry). |
| 3 | E.ES.E.4 | The supply of many natural resources is limited. Humans have devised methods for extending their use of natural resources through recycling, reuse, and renewal. |
| 3 | E.ES.E.5 | Humans depend on their natural and constructed environment. Humans change environments in ways that are helpful or harmful for themselves and other organisms. |
| 3 | L.EV.03.11 | characteristics and functions of observable parts in a variety of plants that allow them to live in their environment (for example: leaf shape, thorns, odor, color). |
| 3 | L.EV.03.12 | characteristics and functions of observable body parts to the ability of animals to live in their environment (for example: sharp teeth, claws, color, body covers). |
| 3 | L.EV.E.1 | Different kinds of organisms have characteristics that help them to live in different environments. |
| 3 | L.OL.03.32 | Identify and compare structures in animals used for controlling body temperature, support, movement, food-getting, and protection (for example: fur, wings, teeth, claws). |
| 3 | L.OL.E.3 | Organisms have different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
| 4 | L.EC.E.1 | Organisms interact in various ways including providing food and shelter to one another: Some helpful: others are harmful to the organism and other organisms. |
| 5 | L.HE.05.12 | Distinguish between inherited and acquired traits. |
| 5 | L.HE.M.1 | Inherited and Acquired Traits - The characteristics of organisms are influenced by heredity and environment. For some characteristics, inheritance is more important; for other characteristics, interactions with the environment are more important. |
| K | P.FM.00.11 | Compare the position of an object (for example: above, below, in front of, behind, on) in relation to other objects around it. |
| K | P.FM.E.1 | A position of an object can be described by locating the object relative to other objects or a background. The description of the motion of an object from one observerês view may be different from that reported from a different observerês view. |
