Living Organisms & Ecosystems

Science & Innovation

Your child understands that animals and plants are alive, and they can see how their bodies or leaves are uniquely designed to survive in their specific home environment.

In real life

Your child studies a cactus and works out loud: "It's fat because it's full of water, right? For when it doesn't rain?"
