Diversity and Interdependence of Life

2. Relate animal structures to their specific survival functions (e.g., obtaining food, escaping or hiding from enemies).

Note: In the 3rd grade, we will also consider the ways to tell the difference between a grown-up bug and a not-grown-up one. This discussion is targeted at the following:

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

3. Classify animals according to their characteristics (e.g., body coverings and body structure).
