Description
Class Experience
This class was designed to be delivered in a classroom setting and provides information that supports the following New York State Next Generation Science Learning Standards. P-LS1-1. Observe familiar plants and animals (including humans) and describe what they need to survive. P-LS1-2. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine how familiar plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive in the environment. P-LS3-1 Develop a model to describe that some young plants and animals are similar to, but not exactly like, their parents K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) 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. 1-LS1-1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. 1-LS1-2 Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. 1-LS3-1 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that some young plants and animals are similar to, but not exactly like, their parents. 2-LS2-2 Develop a simple model that illustrates how plants and animals depend on each other for survival.
