Grade Level Standards 3rd Grade 3-1.2, 3-1.3, 3-2.2,
3-2.3, 3-2.4 4th Grade 4-2.1, 4-2.2,
4-2.5, 4-2.6 5th Grade 5-1.6, 5-1.7, 5-2.3,
5-2.5, 5-3.6 Generate
questions such as “what if?” or “how?” about
objects, organisms, and events in the environment
and use those questions to conduct a simple scientific
investigation. Explain how physical
and behavioral adaptations allow organisms to survive
(including hibernation, defense, locomotion, movement,
food obtainment, and camouflage for animals and
seed dispersal, color, and response to light for
plants). Recall
the characteristics of an organism’s habitat
that allow the organism to survive there. Explain how changes in the habitats of plants and animals affect their survival. Classify organisms
into major groups (including plants or animals, flowering
or nonflowering plants, and vertebrates [fish, amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals] or invertebrates) according
to their physical characteristics. Explain how
an organism’s patterns of behavior are related
to its environment (including the kinds and the number
of other organisms present, the availability of food
and other resources, and the physical characteristics
of the environment). Explain how organisms cause changes
in their environment. Use a simple technological
design process to develop a solution or a product, communicating
the design by using descriptions, models, and drawings. Compare the
characteristics of different ecosystems (including estuaries/salt
marshes, oceans, lakes and ponds, forests, and grasslands). Explain how human activity
(including conservation efforts and pollution) has affected
the land and the oceans of Earth. |
