4.3 Compose texts using the revising and editing strategies of effective writers and speakers Use the senses and magnifying instruments to examine a variety of plants and animals to describe external features and what they do. Compare similar features in some animals and plants and explain how each of these enables the organism to satisfy basic needs. Use the information collected to ask and compare answers to questions about how an organism's external features contribute to its ability to survive in an environment. Classify organisms according to one selected feature, such as body covering, and identify other similarities shared by organisms within each group formed. Examine a variety of living things and their offspring and describe what each parent and offspring looks like. Identify similarities and differences among the offspring and between the offspring and each parent. Based on observations, construct an appropriate response to the question "Are parents and offspring more similar than they are different?"
