Grade K-2 C Diversity of life 1: Some animals and plants are
alike in the way they look and in the things they do, and others are
very different from one another.
Grade K-2 C Diversity of life 2: Plants and animals have features
[adaptations] that help them live [survive] in different environments.
Grade K-2 C Interdependence of life 1: Animals eat plants or other
animals for food.
Grade K-2 C Evolution of life 1: Different plants and animals have
external features that help them thrive in different kinds of places.
