Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Clarification statement: Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 3-LS4-3 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
