Standard Set 2 describes key concepts about different types of plants and animals that inhabit Earth. Students are expected to observe and describe similarities and differences in how plants and animals appear and behave, such as seed-bearing plants, birds, fish, and insects. However, stories sometimes give plants and animals attributes they do not actually have in real life. The standard aims to understand these concepts as a basis for learning about the diversity of life on our planet.
