I can plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
I can develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
Examples of animals or insects that pollinate plants or disperse seeds could include bees, hummingbirds or bats. An example of a model could be using Velcro to show how seeds of burdocks are spread.

I can make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats. Potential Maine connections include Maine habitats (e.g. ocean, lake/pond, mountains, forests, cities, etc.)
