| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 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:LS2:2:1.2 | animals, including humans, interact with their surroundings using their senses; and that different senses provide different kinds of information. |
| 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 | S:SPS2:2:3.2 | Explain how one way to describe something is to say how it is like something else. |
| 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: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:LS2:4:3.1 | 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:LS3:4:3.1 | individuals of the same species differ in their characteristics; and explain that sometimes these differences give individuals an advantage in survival and reproduction. |
| 4 | S:LS4:4:3.1 | Identify what the physical structures of humans do (e.g., sense organs_ eyes, ears, skin, etc.) or compare physical structures of humans to similar structures of animals. |
