ANIMAL LIFE CYCLES:
UNIT LEARNING TARGETS (2.L.1.1 &2.L.1.2)
- I can understand animal life cycles.
- I can summarize the life cycle of animals. Including these four stages:
- Birth
- Developing into an adult
- Reproducing
- Aging and death
- I can compare the life cycles of different animals such as, but not limited to, mealworms, ladybugs, crickets, guppies, or frogs.

SIMILARITIES & DIFFERNCES OF ORGANISMS:
UNIT LEARNING TARGETS (2.L.2.1 & 2.L.2.2)
- I can remember that organisms differ from or are similar to their parents based on the characteristics of the organism.
- I can identify ways in which plants and animals closely resemble their parents in observed appearance and ways they are different.
- I can recognize there is variation among individuals that are related.
Essential Questions for this Unit:
- How do plants and animals resemble their parents? (2.L.2.1)
- How do organisms vary among individuals? (2.L.2.2)
Key Concept 1: Organisms (plants and animals) have characteristics that are similar and different. (2.L.2)
- Young animals are very much, but not exactly, like their parents and also resemble other animals of the same kind.
- Plants also are very much, but not exactly, like their parents and resemble other plants of the same kind.

Key Concept 2: Characteristics of animals can be similar and different to their parents. (2.L.2.1)
- Animals can have the same appearance as their parents but they can also look different.
- Animals have the same needs as their parents.
- Animals have the same life processes as their parents.
- Animals can have the same interactions with the environment as their parents, but the interactions can also be different.
Key Concept 3: Characteristics of plants can be similar and different to their parents. (2.L.2.1)
- Plants can have the same appearance as their parents but they can also look different.
- Plants have the same needs as their parents.
- Plants have the same life processes as their parents.
- Plants can have the same interactions with the environment as their parents, but the interactions can also be different.

Key Concept 4: There is variation (differences) among organisms that are related. (2.L.2.2)
- Groups of organisms of the same type (or organisms that are related) have characteristics in common.
- Groups of organisms of the same type (or organisms that are related) have characteristics that are different.
