Kentucky	K-ESS3-1 - Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live.	I can show you my drawing of a plant and tell you what a plant needs to live and where it grows I can point to my model and explain which parts of the plant help it get the things it needs, like sunlight and water.	I can make a simple drawing or model to show some of the things plants need to live, like sunlight and water, and where they get these things from their surroundings.	I can use my plant journal and my poster or model to show how plants and animals need certain things from the places they live, like water, sunlight, and space to grow I can explain how these places help them meet their needs.	I can create a poster or model that shows what plants and animals need to live and how the places they live help them grow big and strong.
Kentucky	K-ESS2-2 - Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.	I can use my observations from our plant adventure walk to tell a story about how plants and animals change the place they live in to get what they need I can describe with my drawings and words how a tree gives us shade or how flowers make places more colorful and lively.	I can talk about how plants, like the ones I saw on our walk, change their surroundings to help them grow, like how they reach for sunlight I can give examples to show how plants and animals make changes around them to get what they need.	I can explain how plants and animals can change their surroundings, like how a plant grows toward the sunlight or a beaver builds a dam, and I can give examples from my plant journal to show how they do this.	I can create a poster that shows how plants and animals can change their environment so they can live better I use my plant journal to show examples, like how roots grow to find water I can explain these ideas with drawings and words when I share my work at the Plant Knowledge Fair.

I can notice and talk about how sunlight feels warm on the leaves and the ground during our plant walks I can draw pictures in my plant journal showing sunny and shady spots and say how they are different.	I can observe how plants change when they are in the sunlight and when they are in the shade I can explain what I see happening to the plants and draw pictures to show what I have learned I can talk about how sunlight helps plants grow and describe the differences I notice.
Kentucky	K-LS1-1 - Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.	I can name some parts of a plant and talk about what they do to help the plant live and grow I can use my plant journal to show the pictures I drew and the changes I noticed about my plant.	I can talk about how plants need sunlight, water, and air to grow I can draw pictures of plants and show what they need to be healthy and strong When I look at plants during our adventure walk, I can notice the different parts of the plant and think about their jobs.	I can describe what plants need to live by talking about what I saw when I looked at my plant every day, like how it changed when it got sunlight and water I can tell my friends what is important for plants to grow by showing my drawings in my journal and saying what I noticed.	I can explain what plants need to live and grow by showing different patterns I noticed during my Plant Adventure Walk and the changes I saw in my plant journals.
