Standards

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
