NGSS (Science Standards)
1-LS3-1. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants are like, but not exactly like, their parents. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include features plants or animals share. Examples of observations could include leaves from the same kind of plant are the same shape but can differ in size; and, a particular breed of dog looks like its parents but is not exactly the same.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include inheritance or animals that undergo metamorphosis or hybrids.]
LS1.A: Structure and Function All organisms have external parts. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. (1-LS1-1) LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms Adult plants and animals can have young.
