| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | SC-04-3.4.1b | make inferences about the relationship between structure and function in organisms. Each plant or animal has structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking |
| 4 | SC-04-4.7.1a | patterns of evidence related to the survival and reproductive success of organisms in particular environments. |
| Primary | SC-EP-3.4.3 | Students will describe the basic structures and related functions of plants and animals that contribute to growth, reproduction and survival. |
| Primary | SC-EP-3.4.3a | Each plant or animal has observable structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing and talking. These observable structures should be explored |
| Primary | SC-P-UD-S-3 | Students will investigate adaptations that enable animals and plants to grow, reproduce and survive (e.g., movements, body coverings, method of reproduction) |
| Primary | SC-P-UD-S-4 | Students will analyze structures of plants and animals to make inferences about the types of environments for which they are suited |
| Primary | SC-P-UD-U-2 | plants and animals have features that help them live in different environments. |
| Primary | SC-P-UD-U-3 | some animals are alike in the way they look and in the things they do, and others are very different from one another. |
| Primary | SS-EP-4.1.1 | Students will use geographic tools (e.g., maps, globes, mental maps, charts, graphs) to locate and describe familiar places at home, school and the community. |
| Primary | SS-EP-4.1.2 | use geographic tools to identify major landforms (e.g., continents, mountain ranges), bodies of water (e.g., oceans, major rivers) and natural resources on Earthês surface and use relative location. |
| Primary | SS-P,4&5-G-U-1 | use of geographic tools (e.g., maps, globes, charts, graphs) and mental maps help interpret information, understand and analyze patterns, spatial data and geographic issues. |
