Selected "NSES/2061 Benchmarks" met by the video, hands-on and online resources:
Program 4
| 4.2.2 Knows that plants and animals progress through life cycles of birth, growth and development, reproduction, and death; the details of these life cycles are different for different organisms |
| 5.3.1 Knows that reproduction is a characteristic of all living things and is essential to the continuation of a species |
| 7.2.1 Knows that the behavior of individual organisms is influenced by internal cues (e.g., hunger) and external cues (e.g., changes in the environment), and that humans and other organisms have senses that help them to detect these cues |
| 7.3.4 Knows that all individuals of a species that occur together at a given place and time make up a population, and all populations living together and the physical factors with which they interact compose an ecosystem |
| 9.3.2 Knows basic ideas related to biological evolution (e.g., diversity of species is developed through gradual processes over many generations; biological adaptations, such as changes in structure, behavior, or physiology, allow some species to enhance their reproductive success and survival in a particular environment) |
| 11.3.4 Knows that heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation; heat flows from warmer objects to cooler ones until both objects reach the same temperature |
| 16.3.4 Understands ethics associated with scientific study... |
