Big Ideas
- Living things, including plants, animals, and humans, have basic needs that must be met in order to survive.
- Patterns can be observed in the needs and behaviors of living things.
Essential Questions
- What do plants and animals need to live and grow?
- How do people's needs compare to the needs of plants and animals?
- What patterns do you notice in how plants, animals, and humans get what they need?
- How can your observations help you understand what living things need to survive?
- Why is it important for living things to have their basic needs met?
