LS1.D: Information Processing

 

In LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes, performance expectations are designed for students to create an understanding of how cells contribute to the function of living organisms and how organisms grow and reproduce. Students should understand the structure and function of different types of cells and cell theory and make connections between environmental and genetic factors and organism growth, behavior, and reproduction.

 

3-LS1-1 Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

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

5-LS1-1 Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.

4-LS1-2 Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
