| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b | Each plant has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (i) | roots help support the plant and take in water and nutrients |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (ii) | leaves help plants utilize sunlight to make food for the plant |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (iii) | stems, stalks, trunks, and other similar structures provide support for the plant |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (iv) | some plants have flowers |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (v) | flowers are reproductive structures of plants that produce fruit which contains seeds |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1c | In order to survive in their environment, plants and animals must be adapted to that environment. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1c (i) | seeds disperse by a plantês own mechanism and/or in a variety of ways that can include wind, water, and animals |

| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2a | Plants respond to changes in their environment. the leaves of some green plants change position as the direction of light changes; the parts of some plants, undergo seasonal changes that enable the plant to grow; seeds germinate, and leaves, |

| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.2a | Plants manufacture food by utilizing air, water, and energy from the Sun. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.2b | The Sunês energy is transferred on Earth from plants to animals through the food chain. |
