investigate and describe some of the unique life cycles of animals where young animals do not resemble their parents, including butterflies and frogs.
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.
identify and record the changes from seed, seedling, plant, flower, and fruit in a simple plant life cycle; and
record observations of and describe basic life cycles of animals, including a bird, a mammal, and a fish; and
explain and demonstrate how some plants depend on other living things, wind, or water for pollination and to move their seeds around.
investigate and describe some of the unique life cycles of animals where young animals do not resemble their parents, including butterflies and frogs.
explore, illustrate, and compare life cycles in organisms such as beetles, crickets, radishes, or lima beans.
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
The name of the pattern of changes that some animals make as they grow to adulthood is metamorphosis.
