1-LS1-2:
Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. [Clarification Statement: Examples
of patterns of behaviors could include the signals that offspring make (such as crying, cheeping, and other vocalizations) and the responses of the
parents (such as feeding, comforting, and protecting the offspring).]
Essential Questions
How are you taken care of?
What do you do when you want
your parents to help you?
Why do you think your parents
do these things?
What are some of the
similarities between parents
and offspring? Differences
Content Statements
Enduring Understandings
Labs, Investigation, and Student Experiences
Students will understand that adult
humans and other animals have a certain
behaviors to help their offspring. These
behaviors help the offspring survive and
reach adult hood so they can have
children.
Investigation: Students will read text about how other animals take care of
their offspring and write a comparison on what their parents do to help them,
to show how all parents have the same behaviors to help the offspring survie.
Without these behaviors expressed by the
parent. The offspring would not survive
Common Core Standards
Connections
Offspring need parents
Communication is key between
offspring and parent
ELA/Literacy-RI.1.1-RI.1.2,W.1.7
RI.1.10
Needed Vocabulary: similar, different, grow, change
Required Materials: baby photos of teacher and/or parents/children; animal
photos adult/offspring; plant/seedling photos. [CAUTION: be sensitive to
adopted students or students living with a guardian]
Prior Learning: Select literature to read about humans growing up and
changing. Compare to plants and other animals doing the same.
Activity: Students will use a Venn Diagram to sort adult or
offspring pictures giving reasons why the sort was made.
Repeat for plants and other animals (avoid insects)

Desired Results
Students will observe or listen to animal calls and imagine what the
offspring are saying to their parents. Like baby birds chirping saying im
hungry or puppies barking at the mom when the parent is far away.
Compare that to what humans do.
Sample Assessments
Have students conduct a baby animal scavenger hunt – match parents with
their offspring to show that plants and animals closely resemble their parents.
