Standard/Essential Knowledge and Skills:
K.7 The student will investigate and understand basic needs and life processes of plants and animals. Key concepts include
a)animals need adequate food, water, shelter, air, and space to survive;
b)plants need nutrients, water, air, light, and a place to grow to survive;
c)plants and animals change as they grow, have varied life cycles, and eventually die; and
d)offspring of plants and animals are similar but not identical to their parents or to one another.
In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will
- describe the life needs of animals. The life needs are food, water, shelter, air, and space.
- describe the life needs of plants. The life needs are nutrients, water, air, light, and a place that has adequate space for them to grow.
- predict what will happen to animals and plants if life needs are not met.
- describe some simple changes animals undergo during their life cycles. This may include changes in their body size, color, covering, or shape.
- describe some simple changes that plants undergo during their life cycles. This may include size, presence of leaves and branches, fruits, and seeds.
- compare and contrast young plants and animals with their parents, using pictures and/or live organisms.
