The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments.
Content
The student is expected to analyze the structures and functions of different species to identify how organisms survive in the same environment;

Organisms and Environments - Animal / Plant Structure and Function
2.13.A identify the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of plants and compare how those structures help different plants meet their basic needs for survival;
2.13.B record and compare how the structures and behaviors of animals help them find and take in food, water, and air;
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;
4.13.A explore and explain how structures and functions of plants such as waxy leaves and deep roots enable them to survive in their environment;
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;
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.
