Heredity
1. Compare the life cycles of different animals including birth to adulthood, reproduction and death (e.g., egg-tadpole-frog, egg-caterpillar-chrysalis-butterfly).
Diversity and
Interdependence of
Life
2. Relate animal structures to their specific survival functions (e.g., obtaining food, escaping or hiding from enemies).
3. Classify animals according to their characteristics (e.g., body coverings and body structure).
4. Use examples to explain that extinct organisms may resemble organisms that are alive today.
5. Observe and explore how fossils provide evidence about animals that lived long ago and the nature of the environment at that time.
6. Describe how changes in an organism's habitat are sometimes beneficial and sometimes harmful.
