observe and identify the dependence of animals on air, water, food, space, and shelter.
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.
observe and identify the dependence of animals on air, water, food, space, and shelter.
identify and describe how plants, animals, and humans use rocks, soil, and water;
distinguish between natural and manmade resources; and
explore and explain how humans use natural resources such as in construction, in agriculture, in transportation, and to make products;
identify and explain advantages and disadvantages of using Earth's renewable and nonrenewable natural resources such as wind, water, sunlight, plants, animals, coal, oil, and natural gas;
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.
An animal that has its basic needs met will continue to grow and reproduce (stability is stable). Slight changes to the system might not have immediate effects. A change in the system that deprives an animal of what it needs over time will affect the health of the animal.
