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-4.3.1a (v) | some animals have parts that are used to produce sounds and smells to help the animal meet its needs |
K,1,2,3,4 | K-4.3.1a (vi) | the characteristics of some animals change as seasonal conditions change (e.g., fur grows and is shed to help regulate body heat; body fat is a form of stored energy and it changes as the seasons change) |
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 |
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-4.3.1c (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-4.5.2b | 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-4.6.1e | 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. |
