FOSS AND CALIFORNIA STANDARDS
The Insects and Plants Module supports the following Life Sciences
Content Standards for grade 2.*
LIFE SCIENCES
LS2. Plants and animals have predictable life cycles.
As a basis for understanding this concept, students know
LS2a. that organisms reproduce offspring of their own kind
and that the offspring resemble their parents and one
another.
LS2b. the sequential stages of life cycles are different for
different animals, such as butterflies, frogs, and mice.
LS2c. many characteristics of an organism are inherited
from the parents. Some characteristics are caused or
influenced by the environment.
LS2d. there is variation among individuals of one kind within
a population.
LS2e. light, gravity, touch, or environmental stress can
affect the germination, growth, and development of
plants.
LS2f. flowers and fruits are associated with reproduction in
plants.
