What students need to know:
- Plants are diverse in size, structure, and ecological needs.
- Plants live in environments to which they are suited; those environments also differ:
- Deciduous forests (oak trees)
- Tropical forests (vines, epiphytes)
- Meadows and prairies (grasses)
- Deserts (cacti)
- Tundra (plants of small size)
- Ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams
- Oceans are home to less than a dozen known species of plants.
- Many plant habitats change in cycles over time—seasons—and plants are adapted to survive during those changes.
- Adult plants and animals reproduce.
- Many kinds of animal parents take care of their offspring until the offspring become mature enough to care for themselves.
- Animals are diverse in size, shape, and ecological needs.
- Animals vary in their structure.
- Invertebrates: without backbones (snails, insects, coral)
- Vertebrates: with backbones (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians)
- Animals live in environments to which they are suited; those environments differ:
- Deciduous forests (squirrels, raccoons)

- Ecosystems: Plant and Animal Relationships
- Many plants and animals live in a specific habitat.
