Relevant State Standards

3rd Grade

  • SC.3.L.15.1 - Classify animals into major groups (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, arthropods, vertebrates and invertebrates, those having live births and those which lay eggs) according to their physical characteristics and behaviors.
  • SC.3.L.17.2 - Recognize that plants use energy from the sun, air, and water to make their own food.
  • SC.3.N.1.1 - Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them individually and in teams through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations. 

4th Grade

  • SC.4.E.6.3 - Recognize that humans need resources found on Earth and that these are either renewable or nonrenewable.
  • SC.4.L.16.4 - Compare and contrast the major stages in the life cycles of Florida plants and animals, such as those that undergo incomplete and complete metamorphosis, and flowering and nonflowering seed-bearing plants. 
  • SC.4.L.17.3 - Trace the flow of energy from the Sun as it is transferred along the food chain through the producers to the consumers.
  • SC.4.L.17.4 - Recognize ways plants and animals, including humans, can impact the environment.
  • SC.4.N.1.1 - Raise questions about the natural world, use appropriate reference materials that support understanding to obtain information (identifying the source), conduct both individual and team investigations through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations. 

5th Grade

  • SC.5.E.7.2 - Recognize that the ocean is an integral part of the water cycle and is connected to all of Earth's water reservoirs via evaporation and precipitation processes.
  • SC.5.L.14.2 - Compare and contrast the function of organs and other physical structures of plants and animals, including humans, for example: some animals have skeletons for support -- some with internal skeletons others with exoskeletons -- while some plants have stems for support.
  • SC.5.L.17.1 - Compare and contrast adaptations displayed by animals and plants that enable them to survive in different environments such as life cycles variations, animal behaviors and physical characteristics.
