LS: Life Science

LS.1: This topic focuses on using fossil evidence and living organisms to observe that suitable habitats depend upon a combination of biotic and abiotic factors.

LS.1.1: Changes in an organism's environment are sometimes beneficial to its survival and sometimes harmful.

LS.1.1.a: Ecosystems can change gradually or dramatically. When the environment changes, some plants and animals survive and reproduce and others die or move to new locations. An animal's patterns of behavior are related to the environment. This includes the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and resources, and the physical attributes of the environment.

PS: Physical Science

PS.1: This topic focuses on the conservation of matter and the processes of energy transfer and transformation, especially as they apply to heat and electrical energy.

PS.1.2: Energy can be transformed from one form to another or can be transferred from one location to another.

PS.1.2.a: Energy transfers from hot objects to cold objects as heat, resulting in a temperature change.
