Alignment to Standards for WV
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.02 | identify that most living things need water, food, light and air. |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.05 | depict movement of living things in air, water and on land. (e.g., birds flying, fish swimming, or worms burrowing in soil). |
| 2 | SC.O.2.1.03 | identify and discuss science careers in the community. |
| 3 | SC.O.3.1.03 | explore science careers in the community. |
| 3 | SC.O.3.2.03 | compare physical characteristics and behaviors of living organisms and explain how they are adapted to a specific environment (e.g., beaks and feet in birds, seed dispersal, camouflage, or different types of flowers). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.01 | describe the different characteristics of plants and animals, which help them to survive in different niches and environments. |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.02 | associate the behaviors of living organisms to external and internal influences (e.g., hunger, climate, or seasons). |
| 4 | SC.0.4.2.03 | identify and classify variations in structures of living things including their systems and explain their functions (e.g., skeletons, teeth, plant needles, or leaves). |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.01 | interconnections of biological, earth and space, and physical science concepts. |
| 5 | SC.O.5.2.06 | compare and contrast how the different characteristics of plants and animals help them to survive in different niches and environments including adaptations, natural selection, and extinction. |
| 5 | SC.S.5.3b | demonstrate an understanding of the interdependence between science and technology. |
| K | SC.O.K.2.02 | observe and describe the movement, growth and changes in plants and animals. |
| K-5 | SC.S.K-5.2a | interrelationships: physics, chemistry, biology and earth and space sciences (effect of natural disasters/seasons on living things, change in environment) |
