A basic definition of living things is anything that is alive or has ever been alive. A basic definition of nonliving is anything that is not now or has never been alive. K.L.1.2 characteristics with nonliving things organisms independently with of animals independently with -Recognizes the basic needs water, food, and shelter independently with characteristics with minimal probing nonliving things with minimal probing organisms with minimal probing of animals minimal probing - Recognizes the basic needs water, food, and shelter with minimal probing characteristics only with direct nonliving things with direct organisms with direct of animals with direct - Recognizes the basic needs water, food, and shelter only with direct -Does not categorize things as living or nonliving based on characteristics -Does not identify structure (parts of whole) of living and nonliving things -Does not observe or compare growth and changes in living organisms -Does not observe similarities and of animals -Does not recognize the basic needs of all living things as air, water, food, and shelter 1 of 5
2 Living things need food, water, air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment in which they can live.1.l.1.1 Life Science: First Quarter Grading Rubric Grade 1 -Recognizes basic needs living - Recognizes basic needs living - Recognizes basic needs living things as air, water, light (plants things as air, water, light (plants things as air, water, light (plants only), space (a way to dispose of only), space (a way to dispose of only), space (a way to dispose of waste), food and shelter found in waste), food and shelter found in waste), food and shelter found in their in environment their in environment with their in environment only with independently with minimal probing direct -Recognizes examples of - Recognizes examples of - Recognizes examples of animals that eat plants or other animals that eat plants or other animals that eat plants or other animals and may use plants (or animals and may use plants (or animals and may use plants (or even other animals) for shelter even other animals) for shelter even other animals) for shelter independently with with minimal probing from only with direct -Does not recognize basic needs living things as air, water, light (plants only), space (a way to dispose of waste), food and shelter found in their in environment - Does not recognize examples of animals that eat plants or other animals and may use plants (or even other animals) for shelter Livings things are found almost everywhere in the world, including North Carolina. The environmental differences of Piedmont, Mountains, and Coastal Plains in North Carolina support different kinds of organisms. 1.L.1.2 -Compares the environments of Carolina independently with -Recognizes different organisms North Carolina independently with - Compares the environments of Carolina with minimal probing - Recognizes different organisms North Carolina with minimal probing - Compares the environments of Carolina only with direct - Recognizes different organisms North Carolina with direct - Does not compare the environments of the Piedmont, Mountain, and Coastal Plains regions of North Carolina - Does not recognize that different organisms are supported (and therefore North Carolina Humans depend on their natural and constructed environments. Humans can cause change to the natural environments in ways that are beneficial or detrimental to humans or other living things. 1.L.1.3 Continued constructed environments. that live there independently with constructed environments with minimal probing that live there with minimal probing constructed environments only with direct that live there only with direct -Does not summarize ways that humans depend on their natural and constructed environments -Does not summarize ways humans protect their environments and/or improve conditions for the benefit of plants and animals that live there 2 of 5
3 Plants are living things that need energy and grow. All plants need to take in water, nutrients and light (to make their own food) for energy and growth. 1.L.2.1 Animals are living things that grow and have basic needs (energy, air, and water). Animals take in plants or other animals as an energy source. 1.L.2.2 Life Science: First Quarter Grading Rubric Grade 1 - Summarizes basic needs of - Summarizes basic needs of plants as air, water, nutrients, plants as air, water, nutrients, plants as air, water, nutrients, and light independently with and light with minimal probing and light only with direct nutrients independently with nutrients with minimal probing nutrients with direct -Does not summarize basic needs of plants as air, water, nutrients, and light -Does not summarize basic needs of animals as air, water, and nutrients 3 of 5
4 Life Science: First Quarter Grading Rubric Grade 2 understanding Animals experience a life cycle that begins with birth, development into adulthood, reproduction to sustain their species, ageing, and eventually death. 2.L.1.1 -Summarizes the life cycles of animals as: birth, developing into an adult, reproducing, aging and death independently with - Summarizes the life cycles of animals as: birth, developing into an adult, reproducing, aging and death with minimal probing from - Summarizes the life cycles of animals as: birth, developing into an adult, reproducing, aging and death only with direct -Does not summarize the life cycles of animals as: birth, developing into an adult, reproducing, aging and death. understanding Different animals spend varying periods of time in each stage of the life cycle. Some animals have few stages while others have many stages in their life cycles. Animals have varied needs at different stages and may occupy different habitats according to these needs. 2.L.1.2 -Compares different life independently with -Recognizes similarities and of a variety of animals independently with - Compares different life with minimal probing from - Recognizes similarities and of a variety of animals with minimal probing - Compares different life with direct - Recognizes similarities and of a variety of animals with direct -Does not compare different life cycles of different animals -Does not recognize similarities and of a variety of animals Continued 4 of 5
5 Even while being unique, plants and animals resemble their in appearance, needs, life processes, and interactions with the environment. 2.L.2.1 Life Science: First Quarter Grading Rubric Grade 2 -Identifies ways in which plants -Identifies ways in which plants Identifies ways in which plants closely resemble their closely resemble their closely resemble their independently with with minimal probing from with direct -Identifies ways in which plants -Identifies ways in which plants are different from their -Identifies ways in which plants are different from their independently with are different from their with direct -Identifies ways in which -Identifies ways in which -Identifies ways in which animals closely resemble their animals closely resemble their animals closely resemble their independently with with minimal probing with direct -Identifies ways in which -Identifies ways in which -Identifies ways in which animals are different from their animals are different from their animals are different from their independently with with minimal probing with direct Groups of organisms of the same type have characteristics in common as well as characteristics that may vary 2.L.2.2 individuals that are related independently with individuals that are related with direct individuals that are related with direct plants closely resemble their plants are different from their animals closely resemble their animals are different from their -Does not recognize variations among individuals that are related 5 of 5
