Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them)
In this episode, Jessi and Squeaks explore the many ways that caterpillars use to avoid being munched on by predators, and that it often comes down to how they look!
First Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Idea:
LS1.A: Structure and Function - All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air (1-LS1-1).
LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits - Young animals are very much, but not exactly, like their parents. Plants also are very much, but not exactly, like their parents (1-LS3-1).
Performance Expectation:
1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
1-LS3-1 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Idea:
LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms - Reproduction is essential to the continued existence of every kind of organism. Plants and animals have unique and diverse life cycles (3-LS1-1).
Performance Expectation:
3-LS1-1 Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death
