Text Types and Purposes||Common Core Language Arts||Grade 4||Writing|||Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 4||Life Science||From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes |||Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above.)||Common Core Language Arts||Grade 4||Writing||Production and Distribution of Writing|||Text Types and Purposes||Common Core Language Arts||Grade 5||Writing|||Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 5||Life Science||From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes|||Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, & the environment.
