| 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. |
| 4 | SC-4-UD-S-2 | structures and related functions of a variety of plants and animals in order to establish classification schemes |
| 4 | SC-4-UD-U-2 | characteristics of living things can be used to sort them into various groups: the characteristics chosen to establish the grouping depend on the reason for the grouping. |
| 5 | SC-05-4.7.1 | categorize populations of organisms according to the function they serve in an ecosystem (e.g., producers, consumers, decomposers); |
| 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-BC-U-2 | understand that living things are found almost everywhere on our planet, but organisms living in one place may be different from those found somewhere else. |
| 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. |
