1 Topic: Life Science Transferable Concepts: change, survival Standard 4 Key Idea 1 1.1a-1.1b 1.2 Living Environment Enduring Understanding; Living things change over time given certain conditions. Essential Question: How do characteristics of living things change over time and given certain conditions? Living things are both similar and different. Plant and animals traits Describe what animals and plants need to live and thrive Describe the life processes common to all living things Recognize that traits of living things are both inherited and acquired or learned Recognize that for humans and other living things there is genetic continuity between generations life cycle, respiration, feeding habits, organism, incubation, reproduce, traits, species, senses, similarities, differences, interaction, survival, specimens, habitat, living vs. nonliving, nutrients, classification, environment, behavior, generation, elimination of waste, migration, predator, prey, embryology, embryo, stimuli, inherit, genetics, adaptation, life span, hibernate 1

2 Topic: Life Science con t. Transferable Concepts: change, survival Key Idea Living Environment con t. Plants and animals change over time Describe how the structure of plants and animals complement the environment of the plant or animal Observe that differences within a species may give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing embryo, gravity, nutrients, germination, control, stimulus, variable, functions, stem, stalk, trunk, variable, traits, organisms, classification, reproduce, offspring, inherited, generation, structure, geotropism, Thigmotropism, Phototropism, Photosynthesis, mates, energy, interaction, genetic, species, habitat, physical adaptations, adaptations, camouflage, life cycle, life span, development, stages Key Idea Life Cycle Describe the major stages in the life cycles of selected plants and animals Describe evidence of growth in plants and animals 2

3 Topic: Life Science con t. Transferable Concepts: survival, interdependence, adaptation Key Idea Living Environment con t. Organisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium that sustains life Describe basic life functions of plants and animals Describe some survival behaviors of common living specimens Key Idea a-6.2b Key Idea 7 7.1a 7.1c Plants and animals depend on each other and their physical environment Human decisions and activities have had a profound impact on the physical and living environments Describe how plants and animals, including humans, depend upon each other and the nonliving environment Describe the relationship of the sun as an energy source for living and nonliving cycles Identify ways in which humans have changed their environment and the effects of those changes 3

4 Topic: Physical Science Transferable Concepts: change, energy, interactions Key Idea Physical Setting Enduring Understanding: Interactions in materials and energy result in changes to their properties. Essential Question: How do interactions in materials and energy result in changes to their properties? Matter is made up particles whose properties determine the observable characteristics of matter and its reactivity. Observe and describe properties of materials, using appropriate tools Describe chemical and physical changes, including changes in states of matter. energy, transfer, electrical circuit, closed circuit, friction, chemical, mechanical, filament, conductor, resistance, cell, matter, positive, negative, battery, parallel circuits, series, terminal, switch, safety, hazard align(ment), gravity, design, technology, incline, impact, modify, mass, mobility, factor, result, conditions, model, scale acid, base, crystal, interaction, reaction, properties, solution, suspension, substance, chemical indicators, matter, texture, classification 4

5 Topic: Physical Science con t. Transferable Concepts: change, energy, interactions Key Idea b Physical Setting con t. Energy exists in many forms, and when these forms change energy is conserved. Describe a variety of forms of energy (heat, chemical, light) and changes that occur in objects when they interact with those forms of energy Describe the way energy can be transferred from one form of energy to another Key Idea 5 5.3a-5.3b Health and Nutrition Enduring Understanding: Organisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium that sustains life. Essential Question: Why is it important to be healthy? Humans need a variety of healthy foods, exercise, and rest in order to grow and maintain good health. Good health habits include hand washing and personal cleanliness, avoiding harmful substances, eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise. Describe a healthy lifestyle List factors that could effect a healthy lifestyle Describe the food pyramid food pyramid, proteins, carbohydrates, nutrition, calories, grams, balanced diet, habits (healthy vs. non-healthy), nutritional value, exercise, hygiene, nutrients, circulatory system, skeletal system, digestive system, excretory system, respiratory system, metabolism, bone growth, organs, 5
