Ohio’s Learning Standards
Grade 2
Life Science – Interactions Within Habitats
All organisms alive today result from their ancestors, some of which may be extinct. Not all kinds of organisms that lived in the past are represented by living organisms today.
Grade 3
Life Science – Behavior, Growth, and Changes
Individuals of the same kind of organism differ in their inherited traits. These differences give some individuals an advantage in surviving and/or reproducing.
Grade 4
Life Science – Earth's Living History
Fossils can be compared to one another and to present-day organisms according to their similarities and differences.
