Montana Science Standards

Kindergarten
Life Science: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals, including humans, need to survive.

1st Grade
Life Science: Use information from print and other media to identify patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

2nd Grade
Life Science: Make observations of plants and animals to compare and contrast the diversity of life in different habitats.

3rd Grade
Life Science: Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.
