K-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Students who demonstrate understanding can:K-LS1-1. Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include that animals need to take in food but plants do not; the different kinds of food needed by different types of animals; the requirement of plants to have light; and, that all living things need water.]
The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K–12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering PracticesAnalyzing and Interpreting DataAnalyzing data in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to collecting, recording, and sharing observations.§ Use observations (firsthand or from media) to describe patterns in the natural world in order to answer scientific questions.

They obtain their food from plants or from other animals. Plants need water and light to live and grow.
