Systems and System Models, e.g., describe living things in terms of their parts; describe how the shape of a plant part helps the plant do its job.
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) ConnectionsThe purpose of the NGSS is for assessment. It does not limit what students may learn.LS.2.2.1, LS.2.2.2, LS.2.2.4, and LS.4.2.2 might be assessed against 2-LS4-1 (Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.)LS.2.2.3 might be assessed against 2-LS2-1(Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.)LS.2.2.5 and LS.2.2.6 more closely links with NGSS performance standards in grade 1.LS.4.2.1 more closely links with NGSS performance standards in grade 3.LS.3.2.1 and LS.3.2.2 more closely links with NGSS performance standards in middle school.
