Important Concepts Addressed in this Unit		Sample Questions			How You Can Help Your Child
S3L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the similarities and differences between plants, animals, and habitats found within geographic regions (Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal Plains, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau) of Georgia. a. Ask questions to differentiate between plants, animals, and habitats found within Georgia’s geographic regions. b. Construct an explanation of how external features and adaptations (camouflage, hibernation, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat. c. Use evidence to construct an explanation of why some organisms can thrive in one habitat and not in another.		1. What is a habitat? 2. How are regions in Georgia different? 3. How do the characteristics of the habitat determine the organisms that live there? 4. How are Georgia habitats different from other habitats? 5. How do the features of a plant help it survive in a certain region of Georgia? 6. How do animal features and/or characteristics allow it to live and thrive in its habitat? 7. How do changes in a habitat affect the organisms living there?

	Changes to Science Standards: Students are expected to perform the practices while learning the content and understanding the crosscutting concepts.
	Science and Engineering Practices Students can use their understanding to investigate the natural world through the practices of science inquiry, or solve meaningful problems through the practices of engineering design. Crosscutting Concepts Provide students with connections and intellectual tools that are related across the differing areas of disciplinary content and can enrich their application of practices and their understanding of core ideas Core Ideas Core ideas cover the four domains: physical sciences, earth and space sciences, life science, and engineering and technology.
