 || Related Lessons: Single Cell Animals  ||  || ** Content Standards ** · Different kinds of questions suggest different kinds of scientific investigations. Some investigations involve observing and describing objects, organism, and events; some involve collecting specimens; and some involve discovery of new objects. · Scientific investigations ask and answer a question and compare the answer with what scientists already know about the world. · Scientific use different kinds of investigations depending on the questions they are trying to answer. Types of investigations include describing objects, events, and organism. · Organisms have basic needs. The world has many different environments, and distinct environments support the life of different types of organisms. · Each plant or animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. · The behavior of individual organisms is influenced by internal cues and by external cues. ||
