external characteristics of an animal are related to where it lives, how it moves, and what it eats |
| 1 |
112.12 (b) (5) (A) |
classify objects by observable properties of the materials from which they are made such as larger and smaller, heavier and lighter, shape, color, and texture |
| 2 |
112.13. (b) (10) (A) |
compare how the physical characteristics and behaviors of animals help them meet their basic needs such as fins help fish move and balance in the water |
| 3 |
112.14. (b) (10) |
organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. |
| 3 |
112.14. (b) (10) (A) |
explore how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment |
| 3 |
112.14. (b) (10) (B) |
some characteristics of organisms are inherited such as the number of limbs on an animal or flower color and recognize that some behaviors are learned in response to living in a certain environment such as animals using tools to get food |
| 3 |
112.14. (b) (9) |
organisms have characteristics that help them survive and can describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments. |
| 4 |
112.15. (b) (10) |
organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environment. |
| 4 |
112.15. (b) (10) (A) |
explore how adaptations enable organisms to survive in their environment such as comparing birds beaks and leaves on plants |
| 4 |
112.15. (b) (9)(A) |
most producers need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food, while consumers are dependent on other organisms for food |
| 5 |
112.16. (b) (10) |
organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. |
| 5 |
112.16. (b) (10) (A) |
compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live and survive such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet in aquatic animals |
| 5 |
112.16. (b) (10) (B) |
differentiate between inherited traits of plants and animals such as spines on a cactus or shape of a beak and learned behaviors such as an animal learning tricks or a child riding a bicycle |
| 5 |
112.16. (b) (9) |
there are relationships, systems, and cycles within environments. |
| K |

organisms resemble their parents and have structures and processes that help them survive within their environments. |
| K |
112.11 (b) (10) (A) |
sort plants and animals into groups based on physical characteristics such as color, size, body covering, or leaf shape |
