Alignment to Standards for NH
| 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:LS1:2:3.2 | living things have a life cycle, during which they are born, grow, and die. |
| 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:LS1:4-3.4 | Predict, sequence, or compare the life stages of organisms (plants and animals): e.g., put images of life stages of an organism in order, predict the next stage in sequence, and compare two organisms. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4:1.2 | Sort/classify different living things using similar and different characteristics; and describe why organisms belong to each group or cite evidence about how they are alike or not alike. |
| 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:LS1:4:3.2 | living organisms have life cycles, which include birth, growth and development, reproduction, and death; and explain how these life cycles vary for different organisms. |
| 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:LS2:4:2.2 | energy is needed for all organisms to stay alive and grow or identify where a plant or animal gets its energy. |
| 4 | S:LS2:4:3.1 | plants and animals interact with one another in various ways besides providing food, such as seed dispersal or pollination. |
| 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:LS3:4:2.1 | Compare information about fossils to living organisms and other fossils to determine any similarities and differences. |
| 4 | S:LS3:4:3.2 | for any particular environment, some kinds of animals and plants survive well, some less well, and some cannot survive at all. |
| 4 | SS:GE:4:3.5 | how humans interact with ecosystems: forest management, impacting wetlands. |
