21
SC.K.3 Living ThingsStudents will use observations to describe patterns of the basic things living things (i.e. plants, animals, and humans) need to survive, and identify structures and behaviors that help living things survive in their environment.Standard
22
SC.K.3.1Use observations to describe patterns of what living things need to survive.K-LS1-1

35
SC.K.5.2Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.K-2-ETS1-2
