Grade 1: Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.
Grade 2: Living things have life cycles adapted to their environment.
Grade 3: Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.
Grade 4: All living things sense and respond to their environment.
Grade 5: Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.
Grade 6: Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment.
Grade 7: Evolution by natural selection provides an explanation for the diversity and survival of living things.
