4-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

Students who demonstrate an understanding can:

• 4-LS1-1. Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Science and Engineering Practices:

• Engaging in Argument from Evidence

• Engaging in argument from evidence in 3–5 builds on K–2 experiences and progresses to critiquing the scientific explanations or solutions proposed by peers by citing relevant evidence about the natural and designed world(s).

  • Construct an argument with evidence, data, and/or a model. (4-LS1-1)

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

• LS1.A: Structure and Function

  • Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions in growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction. (4-LS1-1)
