Alignment to Standards for KY
Grade | Number | Standard |
---|---|---|
4 | SC-04-2.3.4b | The Sun appears to move across the sky in the same way every day, but the Sunês apparent path changes slowly over seasons. |
4 | SC-04-3.4.1a | compare the different structures and functions of plants and animals that contribute to the growth, survival and reproduction of the organisms; |
4 | SC-04-3.4.1b | make inferences about the relationship between structure and function in organisms. Each plant or animal has structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking |
4 | SC-04-4.7.1a | patterns of evidence related to the survival and reproductive success of organisms in particular environments. |
4 | SC-04-4.7.1b | Distinct environments support the lives of different types of organisms. |
4 | SC-4-ET-U-1 | ecosystems are defined by the relationships that occur within them. These relationships can be determined through observation of the organisms and their environment. |
4 | SC-4-I-S-1 | cause and effect relationships existing between organisms and their environments |
4 | SC-4-I-U-1 | all living things depend on their environment and other organisms within it for their survival. Certain patterns of behavior or physical features may help an organism survive in some environments yet perish in others. |
4 | SC-4-I-U-2 | environmental relationships extend beyond food (e.g. shelter, seed transport). |
4 | SC-4-UD-S-2 | structures and related functions of a variety of plants and animals in order to establish classification schemes |
4 | SC-4-UD-S-5 | questions about the diversity of living things using information from a variety of print and non-print sources |
4 | SC-4-UD-U-2 | characteristics of living things can be used to sort them into various groups: the characteristics chosen to establish the grouping depend on the reason for the grouping. |
4 | SC-4-UD-U-3 | organisms have different structures that are used for different functions. Observations of the structures of a certain organism can be used to predict how that organism functions or where it might live. |
5 | SC-05-3.5.1 | cause and effect relationships between enhanced survival/reproductive success and particular biological adaptations (e.g., changes in structures, behaviors, and/or physiology) to generalize about the diversity of species. |
5 | SC-05-3.5.2 | all organisms must be able to obtain and use resources, grow, reproduce, and maintain stable internal conditions while living in a constantly changing external environment. |
5 | SC-5-BC-S-2 | adaptations of various organisms to their environments through observations as well as print and non-print based resources |
5 | SC-5-BC-U-3 | successful organisms must be able to maintain the basic functions of life in response to normal environmental fluctuations (e.g. day/night, seasonal temperature changes, precipitation). |
5 | SC-5-I-S-4 | ecosystems and the interactions occurring within them |
5 | SC-5-I-U-2 | populations interact with each other in an ecosystem form a specific community, but there may be multiple communities within the same ecosystem. |
5 | SC-5-UD-U-1 | animals and plants have a great variety of body plans and internal structures that contribute to their being able to meet their needs. |
Primary | SC-EP-2.3.4 | describe the movement of the sun in the sky using evidence of interactions of the sun with the earth (e.g., shadows, position of sun relative to horizon) to identify patterns of movement. |
Primary | SC-EP-3.4.1 | Organisms have basic needs. For example, animals need air, water and food; plants need air, water, nutrients and light. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. |
Primary | SC-EP-3.4.3 | Students will describe the basic structures and related functions of plants and animals that contribute to growth, reproduction and survival. |
Primary | SC-EP-4.6.1 | basic relationships of plants and animals in an ecosystem (food chains/interdependance). |
Primary | SC-EP-4.6.2 | Plants make their own food. All animals depend on plants. Some animals eat plants for food. Other animals eat animals that eat the plants. Basic relationships and connections between organisms in food chains can be used to discover patterns within ecosystems |
Primary | SC-P-BC-U-2 | understand that living things are found almost everywhere on our planet, but organisms living in one place may be different from those found somewhere else. |
Primary | SC-P-I-S-1 | characteristics of an ecosystem |
Primary | SC-P-I-S-2 | how organisms depend on their environments |
Primary | SC-P-I-U-1 | the world has many different environments. Distinct environments support the lives of different types of organisms. |
Primary | SC-P-UD-S-1 | Students will describe the basic needs of organisms and explain how these survival needs can be met only in certain environments |
Primary | SC-P-UD-S-2 | identify the characteristics that define a habitat |
Primary | SC-P-UD-S-3 | Students will investigate adaptations that enable animals and plants to grow, reproduce and survive (e.g., movements, body coverings, method of reproduction) |
Primary | SC-P-UD-S-4 | Students will analyze structures of plants and animals to make inferences about the types of environments for which they are suited |
Primary | SC-P-UD-U-2 | plants and animals have features that help them live in different environments. |
Primary | SC-P-UD-U-3 | some animals are alike in the way they look and in the things they do, and others are very different from one another. |
Primary | SS-EP-4.2.1 | places on Earthês surface by their physical characteristics (e.g., climate, landforms, bodies of water). |
Primary | SS-P-G-S-2a | locate and describe places (e.g., local environments, different habitats) using their physical characteristics (e.g., landforms, bodies of water) |
