BIO.12.B — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
identify the structures of plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits;
identify the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of plants and compare how those structures help different plants meet their basic needs for survival;
explore and explain how structures and functions of plants such as waxy leaves and deep roots enable them to survive in their environment; and
analyze the structures and functions of different species to identify how organisms survive in the same environment; and
describe how variations of traits within a population lead to structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations that influence the likelihood of survival and reproductive success of a species over generations.
BIO.12.B
explain how the interactions that occur among systems that perform functions of transport, reproduction, and response in plants are facilitated by their structures.
BIO.12.B — Breakout of skills
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
The student is expected to
explain how the interactions that occur among systems that perform the [function] of
reproduction in plants [is] facilitated by their structures
response in plants [is] facilitated by their structures
transport in plants [is] facilitated by their structures
