SCIENCE.1.13.A — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

S.K.13.B

identify the different structures that animals have that allow them to interact with their environment such as seeing, hearing, moving, and grasping objects;

S.1.13.A

identify the external structures of different animals and compare how those structures help different animals live, move, and meet basic needs for survival;

S.2.13.B

record and compare how the structures and behaviors of animals help them find and take in food, water, and air;

S.3.13.A

explore and explain how external structures and functions of animals such as the neck of a giraffe or webbed feet on a duck enable them to survive in their environment; and

S.5.13.A

analyze the structures and functions of different species to identify how organisms survive in the same environment; and

S.7.13.A

identify and model the main functions of the systems of the human organism, including the circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, urinary, reproductive, integumentary, nervous, immune, and endocrine systems;

S.8.13.C

describe how variations of traits within a population lead to structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations that influence the likelihood of survival and reproductive success of a species over generations.

BIO.12.A

analyze the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of regulation, nutrient absorption, reproduction, and defense from injury or illness in animals; and

AQUA.13.B

describe how adaptations allow an organism to exist within an aquatic environment; and

AQUA.13.C

compare adaptations of freshwater and marine organisms.

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
