• K-LS1-1: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals need to survive.
• K-ESS3-1: Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.
• 2-LS4-1: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
• 3-LS4-3: 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.
• 3-LS3-2: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
• 4-LS1-1: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
