__**Unit 2: Harvesting Good Science Skills Oct. 18th-Dec. 17th**__ CFU 0007.4.1Observe a plant to identify how it changes as it grows from a seed to the adult plant and record data using non-standard measurement devices. CFU 0007.4.2Match pictures of seedlings to adult plants and a juvenile to the adult animal CFU 0007.5.1Use a variety of representations to describe similarities and differences among plants and animals. CFU 0007.5.2Create a mural of an ecosystem and compare the characteristics of animals and plants within that environment. CFU 0007.5.3Match pictures of animal and plant characteristics needed for survival to appropriate environments. CFU 0007.8.1Collect, compare, and record daily weather data during different seasons CFU 0007.8.2Infer the relationship between temperature and seasonal change by maintaining a paper chain on which dates are recorded and temperature described according to different colors.
