|---|---|---|
| 1 | L.OL.01.13 | Identify the needs of animals. |
| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | E.FE.02.11 | Identify water sources (wells, springs, lakes, rivers, oceans). |
| 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.03.32 | 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.03.42 | Classify animals on the basis of observable physical characteristics (backbone, skin, shell, limbs, scales). |
| 3 | L.OL.E.3 | Organisms have different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
| 3 | L.OL.E.4 | Organisms can be classified on the basis of observable characteristics. |
| 4 | 4 _ G1.0.4 | Use geographic tools and technologies, stories, songs, and pictures to answer geographic questions about the United States. |
| 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. |

| 4 | L.OL.04.16 | Determine that animals require air, water, and a source of energy and building material for growth and repair. |
| 4 | 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. |
| 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.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. |
