Alignment to Standards for OK
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | SC-2)2:1. | Plants and animals have life cycles that include developing into adults, reproducing, and eventually dying. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. |
| 2 | SC-2)2:2. | Generally, offspring resemble their parents. |
| 3 | SC-3)2:1. | Plants and animals have features (i.e., breathing structures, limbs, skin covering, seed dispersal, roots, stems, and leaves) that help them live in environments such as air, water, or land. |
| 3 | SC-3)2:2. | Each plant or animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth and survival (i.e., the way it moves, type of food it needs, and where it lives). |
| 3 | SC-3)2:3. | All animals depend on plants. Some animals eat plants for food. Other animals eat animals that eat the plants. |
| 4 | SC-4)3:1. | Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. |
| 4 | SC-4)3:2. | Living organisms can be classified using various characteristics (e.g., habitats, anatomy, behaviors). |
| 4 | SC-4)3:3. | Many observable characteristics of an organism, such as the color of flowers or the number of limbs on an animal, are inherited from the parents of the organisms. |
| 4 | SS-4)3.3. | Analyze how the major physical features (e.g., landforms and bodies of water) were formed and continue to change. |
| 5 | SC-5)2:1. | Organisms depend on each other for food, shelter, and reproduction. |
| 5 | SC-5)2:2. | Changes in environmental conditions due to human interactions or natural phenomena can affect the survival of individual organisms and/or entire species. |
| 5 | SC5)4:1. | Interpret pictures, simple bar graphs, and/or tables. |
| K | SC-K)2.2. | Observe and describe the changes that plants and animals go through during their life (e.g., seed/plant, egg/chicken). |
| K | SC-K)2.3. | Observe and describe how animals move (e.g., walk, crawl, hop, fly). |
| PK | SC-PK)3.2. | Demonstrates a beginning awareness of the changes that plants and animals go through during their life (e.g., seed/plant, egg/chicken). |
| PK | SC-PK)3.3. | an interest and respect for the plant and animal life around them. |
