Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student
conducts classroom and outdoor investigations following home and school safety
procedures and environmentally appropriate practices. The student is expected
to:
(1) Organisms and environments. The student knows that
organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them
survive within their environments. The student is expected to:
(2) explore how structures and functions of plants and
animals allow them to survive in a particular environment; and
(A) investigate and compare how animals and plants
undergo a series of orderly changes in their diverse life cycles such as tomato
plants, frogs, and lady beetles.
(B) demonstrate safe practices as described in Texas
Education Agency-approved safety standards during classroom and outdoor
investigations using safety equipment as appropriate, including safety goggles
or chemical splash goggles, as appropriate, and gloves; and
(C) make informed choices in the use and conservation
of natural resources by recycling or reusing materials such as paper, aluminum
cans, and plastics.
