Predecessor Standards:

No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • K.LS.1.1
    Observe and communicate that animals (including humans) and plants need food, water, and air to survive. Animals get food from plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and need light to live and grow.
  • 2.LS.2.3
    Develop and use models to compare how plants and animals depend on their surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live.Clarification Statement: Animals need food, water, air, shelter, and favorable temperature; plants need sufficient light, water, minerals, favorable temperature, and animals or other mechanisms to disperse seeds.

Same Level Standards:

  • W.PK.2
    Use a combination of dictating and drawing to supply information about a topic.
  • PreK.ESS.2.1
    Raise questions and engage in discussions about how different types of local environments (including water) provide homes for different kinds of living things.
  • PreK.ESS.2.3
    Explore and describe different places water is found in the local environment.
  • PreK.LS.2.1
    Use evidence from animals and plants to define several characteristics of living things that distinguish them from non-living things.
  • PreK.LS.2.2
    Using evidence from the local environment, explain how familiar plants and animals meet their needs where they live. Clarification Statements: Basic needs include water, food, air, shelter, and, for most plants, light. Examples of evidence can include squirrels gathering nuts for the winter and plants growing in the presence of sun and water. The local environment includes the area around the student’s school, home, or adjacent community.
