New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standards
5.3.4.A.3- Essential functions of the human body are carried out by specialized systems: Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory, Nervous, Skeletal, Muscular, Reproductive
5.3.8.A.2- During the early development of an organism, cells differentiate and multiply to form the many specialized cells, tissues, and organs that compose the final organism.
5.3.12.E.2- Estimate how closely related species are, based on scientific evidence (e.g., anatomical similarities)
5.3.4.D.1- Plants and animals have life cycles (they begin life, develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die). The characteristics of each stage of life vary by species.
5.1.12.D.1- Science involves practicing productive social interactions with peers, such as partner talk, whole-group discussions, and small-group work.
5.1.8.D.3- Demonstrate how to safely use tools, instruments, and supplies.
