Video Learning Notes

Plants and animals, including humans, can change their environment to meet their needs. These changes can include digging, building, or growing in ways that affect the surroundings. By observing and collecting evidence, students learn to explain these changes and support their ideas with examples. Understanding these interactions helps students see the connections between living things and their environment.

Learning Goals

• Ask questions and make observations about how plants and animals change their environment.
• Use evidence from observations to explain how plants and animals can change their environment to meet their needs.
• Construct a simple argument supported by evidence about environmental changes caused by plants and animals.
• Use tools and models to observe and represent how living things interact with their environment.
• Communicate explanations about how plants and animals change their environment individually and with peers.
