This week we talked about physical features of plants and animals and how scientists use those characteristics to classify plants and animals into different groups.

We will be assessing on this weeks standards on Monday.Attached to this post is a practice assessment students can take to prepare over the weekend. This is optional and for their use. I will not be taking the practice for a grade.

Students will be expected to:

* Describe the features that make animals unique from other living things.

* Compare and contrast the physical features of different animals.

* Classify groups of organisms based on common physical characteristics.

* Explain the connection between an animal’s physical features and the ways in which it meets its needs for food and movement.

* Describe and explain some of the features plants have that help them survive, grow, and reproduce.
