II. Life Science
Unit of Study: Habitats and Adaptations
A. Characteristics of Organisms
1. Organisms can survive only in habitats in which their needs can be met.
a. Compare and contrast the basic needs of plants and animals.
b. Select and describe an appropriate habitat for a plant or animal.
Fourth
Grade: Science Standards Addressed Unit of Study: Organisms
and Their Environment
II. Life Science
A. Characteristics of Organisms
1. Organisms have basic needs and can survive only in environments in which
their needs can be met. The world has many different environments, and
distinct environments support the life of different types of organisms.
a. Identify the characteristics of different environments, such as forests,
wetlands, grasslands, deserts, and in polar, temperate and tropical regions.
b. Describe the diversity of life forms (vertebrate and invertebrate animals
and plants)) supported by each environment.
c. Investigate the relationship between the basic needs of different organisms
and whether or not a particular environment meets those needs.
II. Life Science
Units of Study:
Ecosystems (Aquatic/Terrestrial)
B. Populations and Ecosystems
1. A population consists of all individuals of a species that occur together at
a given place and time. All populations live together and the physical factors
with which they interact compose an ecosystem.
a. Define a population.
b. Investigate and understand how plants and animals in aquatic/terrestrial ecosystems
interact with one another and with the nonliving environment
