Standards: First grade
standard 2 of the life sciences: This standard states, "Plants and
animals meet their needs in different ways. As a basis for understanding
this concept:
a. Students know different plants and animals inhabit different kinds
of environments and have external features that help them thrive in different
kinds of places.
b. Students know both plants and animals need water,
animals need food, and plants need light.
c. Students know animals eat plants or other animals for food and may
also use plants or even other animals for shelter and nesting.
d. Students know how to infer what animals eat from the shapes of their
teeth (e.g., sharp teeth: eats meat; flat teeth: eats plants).
e. Students know roots are associated with the intake of water and soil
nutrients and green leaves are associated with making food from sunlight.”
Second grade life sciences
standard 2 states, "Plants and animals have predictable life cycles.
As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know that organisms reproduce offspring of their own kind
and that the offspring resemble their parents and one another.
b. Students know the sequential stages of life cycles are different for
different animals, such as butterflies, frogs, and mice.
c. Students know many characteristics of an organism are inherited from
the parents. Some characteristics are caused or influenced by the environment.
d. Students know there is variation among individuals of one kind within
a population.
e. Students know light, gravity, touch, or environmental stress can affect
the germination, growth, and development of plants.
f. Students know flowers and fruits are associated with reproduction in
plants."
Life sciences standards for third
grade state,"3. Adaptations in physical structure or behavior
may improve an organism's chance for survival. As a basis for understanding
this concept:
a. Students know plants and animals have structures that serve different
functions in growth, survival, and reproduction.
b. Students know examples of diverse life forms in different environments,
such as oceans, deserts, tundra, forests, grasslands, and wetlands.
c. Students know living things cause changes in the environment in which
they live: some of these changes are detrimental to the organism or other
organisms, and some are beneficial."
 Third
grade social sciences
standard 3.1 states," Students describe the physical and human geography...
to organize information about people, places and environments in a spatial
context. 1. Identify geographical features in their local region (e.g.,
deserts, mountains, valleys, hills, coastal areas, oceans, lakes). 2.
Trace the ways in which people have used the resources of the local region
and modified the physical environment (e.g., a dam constructed upstream
changed a river or coastline)."
