(2) Life science content standards for kindergarten are that each student will: (a) use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals, including humans, need to survive. (3) Earth and space science content standards for kindergarten are that each student will: (a) construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals, including humans, can change the environment to meet their needs; (b) use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals, including humans, and the places they live; (c) communicate ideas about the impact of humans on the land, water, air, or other living things in the local environment; (d) use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time; and (e) ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to predict, prepare for, and respond to weather.
