Life Cycle of a core-standards?dictionary=plant&did=784" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,784,'plant');return false;" style="color:#009000;">Plant
Plants go through a life cycle that includes seed germination, core-standards?dictionary=growth&did=886" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,886,'growth');return false;" style="color:#009000;">growth, core-standards?dictionary=reproduction&did=879" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,879,'reproduction');return false;" style="color:#009000;">reproduction, and eventually death. This cycle is essential for the survival of core-standards?dictionary=plant&did=784" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,784,'plant');return false;" style="color:#009000;">plant species.
core-standards?dictionary=photosynthesis&did=872" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,872,'photosynthesis');return false;" style="color:#009000;">Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, core-standards?dictionary=water&did=802" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,802,'water');return false;" style="color:#009000;">water, and core-standards?dictionary=carbon+dioxide&did=799" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,799,'carbon dioxide');return false;" style="color:#009000;">carbon dioxide to produce food (glucose) and core-standards?dictionary=oxygen&did=798" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,798,'oxygen');return false;" style="color:#009000;">oxygen.

What are the main parts of a core-standards?dictionary=plant&did=784" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,784,'plant');return false;" style="color:#009000;">plant and their functions?
Describe the life cycle of a core-standards?dictionary=plant&did=784" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,784,'plant');return false;" style="color:#009000;">plant.
Explain the process of core-standards?dictionary=photosynthesis&did=872" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,872,'photosynthesis');return false;" style="color:#009000;">photosynthesis and its importance for plants.
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
