Organisms and Environments - Animal Structure and Function, Traits

2.13.B record and compare how the structures and behaviors of animals help them find and take in food, water, and air;

3.13.A explore and explain how external structures and functions of animals such as the neck of a giraffe or webbed feet on a duck enable them to survive in their environment;

4.13.B differentiate between inherited and acquired physical traits of organisms

8.13.C describe how variations of traits within a population lead to structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations that influence the likelihood of survival and reproductive success of a species over generations.
