A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
classify living and nonliving things based upon whether they have basic needs and produce young;
describe and record examples of interactions and dependence between living and nonliving components in terrariums or aquariums; and
describe how the physical characteristics of environments, including the amount of rainfall, support plants and animals within an ecosystem;
explain how temperature and precipitation affect animal growth and behavior through migration and hibernation and plant responses through dormancy;
A system is a whole made of parts that work together. It has components and boundaries. It can interact with or be part of other systems.
This is an introduction to the interdependence between organisms and their environment. The ecosystem comprises plants, animals, and the abiotic (nonliving) factors they depend on to meet their basic needs.
Stability describes a system that does not change at the observed scale. In a stable system, a small disturbance will die out and the system will return to a stable state. Change in the system can come from modifying a factor or condition.
Stable systems within an aquarium or terrarium do not require external inputs such as food or water. Most aquariums and terrariums are unstable systems that require food and water for the organisms and the cleaning of waste products.
