SCOPE AND CONTINUITY CHART-(Continued)


 GRADE IV

 Adaptation, Survival
Living in groups is sometimes
 necessary for survival.
Plants and animals of the past
 were adapted to the life con-
 ditions of their time. When
 life conditions changed, many
 animals could not adapt
 themselves rapidly enough to
 survive.


 Struggle for Existence
Plants and animals depend on
 each other.
Some plants live in groups.
Some animals live in communi-
 ties.
Plants and animals reproduce
 themselves.
Some plants and animals are
 better fitted to live than
 others (balance of nature).


 GRADE V

 Living Things Are Always
 Changing
Living things pass through dif-
 ferent stages of growth.
Young resemble yet differ from
 their parents.
Plants and animals must be
 adapted to their environment
 in order to survive.
Both desirable and undesirable
 qualities may be inherited by
 offspring.
 Plant Food
Plants get their food in dif-
 ferent ways.
Green plants make their food.
Non-green plants do not make
 their food.
A few plants eat animals.


 GRADE VI

 Improvements
Many plants and animals have
 been domesticated by man.
Domesticated plants and ani-
 mals have different needs
 from wild life.
Some new varieties of plants
 and animals have been pro-
 duced.
Methods of soil cultivation are
 constantly changing.

 Food for Animals
Animals need food for energy
 and growth.
 Structure of animals somewhat
 determines their activities in
 obtaining food.
 Proper food is necessary to
 health.
