The STANDARDS CORRELATION chart suggests which Utah Core Standards you can cover using PASSPORT TO ANTARCTICA in your classroom. We hope you will discover additional standards you can use. These are the ones our Instructional Materials Development team felt most directly related to the activities contained in PASSPORT TO ANTARCTICA.
For additional Utah Core Standards you can cover see the STANDARDS CORRELATION chart for the following PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE projects:

Students will make observations using the five senses.
OBJECTIVES:
Identify the five senses and communicate the kind of information that each sense provides.
Observe common objects and living things from the surroundings using each of the five senses.
video Use appropriate language to report observations made through each sense.
video Make observations using a combination of senses and communicate observations.
Make observations about an object using more than one sense.
video Name the senses used to gather information in a given situation.
video Compare and report the information derived from each sense.
video Use instruments to extend the senses.
Make observations using tools (e.g., glasses, binoculars, hearing aids, stethoscopes, etc.) to extend the sense of sight and the sense of hearing.
video Record and compare observations made using senses alone and then observations made assisted by instruments.
video Students will use their senses to observe, describe, and categorize animals.
OBJECTIVES:
Observe, describe, and categorize animals according to unique characteristics (e.g., shape, size, color, body coverings, where they live, how they move, etc.).
Observe characteristics of animals (e.g., shape, size, color, body covering, where they live, and how they move).
video Analyze different ways animals can be categorized.
video Identify the basic needs of animals.
Name the basic needs of animals.
video Identify unique structures that help animals meet needs for food, air, water, and shelter.
video Identify different animal homes.
video Compare and contrast young animals with mature animals of the same species.
Observe and report changes that occur as baby animals mature.
video Summarize how animals change as they grow and develop.
video Compare how different animals care for their young.
video Describe and compare the use of senses in animals and humans.
Identify senses animals use.
video Compare and contrast how humans and animals use senses.
video Students will observe and categorize plants and plant parts according to similarities and differences.
OBJECTIVES:
Investigate and report conditions that affect plant growth.
Experiment to identify conditions that influence plant growth (e.g.,amount of water, light, temperature, and type of soil).
video Draw a picture that reflects conditions for plant growth.
video Students will compare changes and adaptations of plants and animals.
OBJECTIVES:
Observe and describe how plants and animals change during their lives.
Compare and contrast the life cycles of different plants.
video Compare and contrast the life cycles of different animals.
video Students will explore ecosystems and discover relationships among living organisms and the nonliving world.
OBJECTIVES:
Compare and contrast similarities and differences of various habitats.
Observe and describe a variety of habitats.
video Distinguish living and nonliving elements of different habitats.
video Identify the relationships among living organisms in a habitat.
Identify consumers, producers, and decomposers.
video Describe different food chains within a given habitat.
video Experiment to determine the effects of habitat changes.
video Students will investigate changes in biological energy.
OBJECTIVES:
Relate energy requirements of plants and animals to physical and chemical changes.
Compare and contrast how producers and consumers obtain chemical energy.
video Diagram how matter is converted from one form to another in living things.
video Model how photosynthesis and respiration help maintain biological balance in closed systems (e.g., biosphere, terrarium).
video Formulate and test a hypothesis on the effects of temperature or light on plant and animal processes (e.g., growth rates, metabolism, seasonal adaptations).
video Analyze food webs in terms of energy flow.
Trace the transformation of chemical energy in food from radiant solar energy to mechanical energy in organisms.
video Determine the role of sugar in production and consumption of energy in living things.
video Explain the pattern of energy losses in a food chain.
video Estimate the energy content at each level of a simple energy pyramid.
