Observe familiar plants and animals (including humans) and describe what they need to survive.
Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on determining what a variety of living organisms need to live and grow.
Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation P-LS1-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Analyzing and Interpreting Data
- Record information (observations, thoughts, and ideas).
- Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
- Communicate solutions with others in oral and/or written forms using models and/or drawings that provide detail about scientific ideas.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms
- (NYSED) All animals need food, air, and water in order to live, grow, and thrive. Animals obtain food from plants or from other animals. Plants need water, air, and light to live, grow, and thrive.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Patterns
- Patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed and used as evidence.
Connections to Other Standards
P-LS1-1 connections to ELA, math, and other science standards as outlined by the NYS Education Department:
