| 2 | SS:GE:2:4.2 | Identify what are natural resources, e.g., water or trees. |
| 2 | SS:GE:2:5.1 | role of natural resources in daily life, e.g., food, clothing, or shelter. |
| 2 | SS:GE:2:5.2 | how people use resources, e.g., building homes or the food they eat. |
| 4 | S:LS1:4.2.2 | function of the plant structures responsible for food production, water transport, support, reproduction, growth and protection. |
| 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:LS1:4:3.1 | 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:LS1:4:3.3 | reproductive process of plants, explaining some plants grow from seed, while others grow from the parts of other plants. |
| 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. |
