Structures for Survival
生存适应结构
Description
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
Mastery Evidence
- Give examples of external structures and their survival functions (e.g. thorns for protection, claws for catching prey)
- Give examples of internal structures and their functions (e.g. heart pumps blood, lungs take in air)
- Construct a reasoned argument linking a specific structure to how it helps the organism survive or reproduce
Assessment Prompt
Can your child explain how a cactus's thick stem helps it survive in a desert, or how a bird's wings help it find food?
