MS-LS1-4: Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.

MS-LS1-5: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

● I can identify the reproductive structures of a plant.

● I can identify the different types of seed dispersal.

● I can describe how animal behaviors allows plant reproduction.

● I can describe genetic factors and how they affect the growth of organisms.

● I can describe environmental factors and how they affect the growth of organisms.
