Scientific Standards
Life Sciences:
3. Adaptations in physical structure or behavior may improve an organisms chance for survival. As a basis for
understanding this concept:
a. Students know plants and animals have structures that serve different functions in growth,
survival, and reproduction.
b. Students know examples of diverse life forms in different environments, such as oceans, deserts, tundra, forests,
grasslands, and wetlands.
c. Students know living things cause changes in the environment in which they live: some of these changes are
detrimental to the organism or other organisms, and some are beneficial.
d. Students know when the environment changes, some plants and animals survive and reproduce; others die or
move to new locations.
e. Students know that some kinds of organisms that once lived on Earth have completely disappeared and that some
of those resembled others that are alive today.

Follow-up Activities
Reflection
Fields trips are an incredible way to
get students involved in a hands-on
way. Especially at Life Lab, located
at the farm on University of
California, Santa Cruzs campus,
students engaged through the use
of the natural world as a catalyst
for learning. This connection with
nature not only encourages inquiry
in students as they learn about the
lesson material, but also creates a
deep care aspect.
This desire to connect with the
natural world and the care
aspect that is developed when
working directly with nature acts as
a foundation for students to
develop ambition required to solve
complex, real-world issues in
preserving, caring for, and
protecting nature.
