| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.1.2a | Living things grow, take in nutrients, breathe, reproduce, eliminate waste, and die. |
| 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-4.3.1b (i) | roots help support the plant and take in water and nutrients |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (iii) | stems, stalks, trunks, and other similar structures provide support for the plant |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (iv) | some plants have flowers |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (v) | flowers are reproductive structures of plants that produce fruit which contains seeds |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1b (vi) | seeds contain stored food that aids in germination and the growth of young plants |
| 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 |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1c (ii) | leaf, flower, stem, and root adaptations may include variations in size, shape, thickness, color, smell, and texture |

| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.4.1c | The length of time from beginning of development to death of the plant is called its life span. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.4.1d | Life cycles of some plants include changes from seed to mature plant. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.4.2a | Growth is the process by which plants and animals increase in size. |

| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.1a | All living things grow, take in nutrients, breathe, reproduce, and eliminate waste. |
| K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2a | Plants respond to changes in their environment. the leaves of some green plants change position as the direction of light changes; the parts of some plants, undergo seasonal changes that enable the plant to grow; seeds germinate, and leaves, |
