| 2 | L.OL.E.1 | Animals and plants need air, water, and food. Plants also require light. Plants and animals use food as a source of energy and as a source of building material for growth and repair. |
| 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.03.31 | Describe the function of the following plant parts: flower, stem, root and leaf. |
| 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). |

| 5 | L.EV.05.11 | Explain how behavioral characteristics (adaptation, instinct, learning, habit) of animals help them to survive in their environment. |
| 5 | L.EV.05.12 | Describe the physical characteristics (traits) of organisms that help them survive in their environment. |
| K | L.OL.00.11 | Identify that living things have basic needs. |
| K | L.OL.E.1 | Organisms have basic needs. Animals and plants need air, water, and food. Plants also require light. Plants and animals use food as a source of energy and as a source of building material for growth and repair. |
