Big Ideas

Daily and seasonal changes affect all living things.

Plants and animals have observable features.

Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.

Observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.

Living things have life cycles adapted to their environment.

Water is essential to all living things, and it cycles through the environment.

Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.

All living things sense and respond to their environment.

The motions of Earth and the moon cause observable patterns that affect living and non-living systems.

Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.

Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment.

Evolution by natural selection provides an explanation for the diversity and survival of living things.
