Grade | Number | Standard |
---|---|---|
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4..3.1a (iv) | claws, shells, spines, feathers, fur, scales, and color of body covering enable some animals to protect themselves from predators and other environmental conditions, or enable them to obtain food |
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-4.3.1c | 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 (iii) | animal adaptations include coloration for warning or attraction, camouflage, defense mechanisms, movement, hibernation, and migration |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.4.2b | Food supplies the energy and materials necessary for growth and repair. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.1b | An organismês external physical features can enable it to carry out life functions in its particular environment. |
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, |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2b | Animals respond to change in their environment, (e.g., perspiration, heart rate, breathing rate, eye blinking, shivering, and salivating). |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2d | Some animals, including humans, move from place to place to meet their needs. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2e | physical animal characteristics by changing environmental conditions: fat storage in winter, coat thickness in winter, camouflage, shedding of fur. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.5.2f | Some animal behaviors are influenced by environmental conditions:nest building, hibernating, hunting, migrating, and communicating. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.1b | All animals depend on plants. Some animals (predators) eat other animals (prey). |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.1c | Animals that eat plants for food may in turn become food for other animals. This sequence is called a food chain. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.1d | Decomposers are living things that play a vital role in recycling nutrients. |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.6.1e | An organismês pattern of behavior is related to the nature of that organismês environment, including the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and other resources, and the physical characteristics of the environment. |
