Learning Targets
- I can recognize the parts of plants and animals that help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. #dok1
- I can find information in texts and media about parent and offspring behaviors. #dok1
- I can describe patterns in how parents and offspring behave to help offspring survive. #dok2
- I can explain how specific external parts help a plant or animal meet its needs. #dok2
- I can analyze examples of how animal or plant structures solve problems in nature. #dok2
- I can design a solution to a human problem by mimicking external parts of plants or animals. #dok3
- I can use materials to build and explain my design inspired by nature. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Living things use external parts in unique ways to survive, grow, and meet their needs.
- Observing and understanding biological structures and behaviors can inspire solutions to human problems.
Essential Questions
- How do the external parts of plants and animals help them survive and grow?
- How can people use ideas from nature to solve human problems?
- What patterns can we observe in how parents and offspring behave?
- How do parent animals and their offspring work together for survival?
- What can we learn from plants and animals to help us solve everyday problems?
