 * **Characteristics of living things** || **Living things share some common characteristics that are both similar to and different from non-living things.** || All living things share some common characteristics. || Rachelle Zenor (rzenor@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ) and Tina Miller (tmiller@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):
 * Life cycles of plants and animals || Plants and animals have life cycles that include being born, developing into adults, reproducing, and eventually dying.

Plants and animals closely resemble their parents. || Animals have body parts that help them grow and survive. Animals look like their parents. || Becky Peach: ||

 * **Basic needs of plants and animals** || **Organisms have basic needs. For example, aniamls need air, water, and food; plants require air, water, nutrients, and light.

Organisms interact with each other and their physical environment.

Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met.

The world has many different environments and distinct environments support the life of different types of organisms .** || Plants are living things that have specific needs and parts. These parts can look like their parents. || Jackie Anderson (janderson@anita.k12.ia.us ): || animals || **Organisms have basic needs.
