I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Standards Learners learned that animals and plants live in habitats that meet their basic needs.

B. Performance By the end of the Quarter, learners identify that plants and animals have systems whose function is to keep them alive. They observe, describe, and create
Standards representations to show how living things interact with their habitat, survive, and reproduce in specific environments. They use flowcharts to show the feeding
relationship among different organisms within a given environment.
