K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1a | Each animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1a (i) | wings, legs, or fins enable some animals to seek shelter and escape predators |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1a (iii) | eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin of some animals enable the animals to sense their surroundings |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b | Each plant has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1c | In order to survive in their environment, plants and animals must be adapted to that environment. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1c (i) | seeds disperse by a plantês own mechanism and/or in a variety of ways that can include wind, water, and animals |
