| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | S:ESS4:2:3.2 | Identify environments that are natural, such as a forest, meadow, or mountains and those that have been built or modified by people, including cities, roads, farms, and houses. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:1.2 | plants and animals as living things and describe how they are alike and different. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:2.1 | plants and animals have features that help them survive in different environments. |
| 2 | S:LS1:2:3.1 | parents and offspring of many species closely resemble one another; and describe the similarities in appearance of given plant and animal families. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:1.1 | living things can be found almost anyplace in the world; and that specific types of environments are required to support the many different species of plant and animal life. |
| 2 | S:LS2:2:2.1 | Identify the resources plants and animals need for growth and energy, and describe how their habitat provides these basic needs. |
| 2 | S:LS3:2:3.1 | similarities and differences in both behavior and appearance of plants and animals. |
| 2 | S:LS3:2:3.2 | there are different species of living things in various places around the world. |
| 2 | SS:GE:2:3.2 | components and distribution of ecosystems, e.g., desert or rain forest. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:2.1 | living organisms have certain structures and systems that perform specific functions, facilitating survival, growth and reproduction. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:2.3 | physical structures of an organism (plants or animals) allow it to survive in its habitat/environment |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:3.1 | plant and animal characteristics that are inherited, such as eye color in humans and the shape of leaves in plants, and those that are affected by their environment, such as grass turning brown due to lack of water. |
| 4 | S:LS2:4:1.1 | Describe how the nature of an organismês environment, such as the availability of a food source, the quantity and variety of other species present, and the physical characteristics of the environment affect the organismês patterns of behavior. |
| 4 | S:LS2:4:3.2 | Describe ways plants and animals depend on each other (e.g., shelter, nesting, food). |
| 4 | S:LS3:4:1.1 | how environmental changes can cause different effects on different organisms. |
| 4 | S:LS3:4:1.3 | changes in the environment can cause organisms to respond (survive there and reproduce, move away, die). |
| 4 | S:LS3:4:3.1 | individuals of the same species differ in their characteristics; and explain that sometimes these differences give individuals an advantage in survival and reproduction. |
| 4 | SS:GE:4:3.5 | how humans interact with ecosystems: forest management, impacting wetlands. |
