How Plants and Animals Survive

How Plants and Animals Survive

Grade 1 - Structure, Function, and Information Processing

In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of the relationship between structure and function by examining how the parts of organisms help them to survive and grow. Using this knowledge, students design an object that solves a problem by mimicking the structure and function of an animal or plant part. Students then identify similarities and differences in parents and offspring, and among individuals of the same species. Finally, students identify patterns of parent and offspring behavior that help the offspring survive.
