B Life Systems

B1 Relating Science and Technology to Our Changing World
- B1.1 assess ways in which plants are important to humans and other living things, taking different perspectives into consideration, and identify ways in which humans can protect native plant species and their habitats
- B1.2 assess ways in which human activities have an impact on plants and plant habitats, and identify personal actions that they could take to minimize harmful effects and enhance positive ones
- B1.3 assess the benefits and limitations of locally grown food
B2 Exploring and Understanding Concepts
- B2.1 describe the basic needs of plants, including the need for air, water, light, heat, nutrients, and space, and identify environmental conditions that may threaten plant survival
  - How do plants make food? (3-I.3)
- B2.2 identify different parts of plants, including the root, stem, flower, stamen, pistil, leaf, seed, cone, and fruit, and describe how each part contributes to plants' survival within their environment
  - Classify fruits and vegetables as plant parts (3-I.1)

- B2.4 describe ways in which a variety of plants adapt and/or react to their environment and to changes in their environment
- B2.5 demonstrate an understanding that most plants get energy directly from the Sun through the process of photosynthesis, which involves the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen
  - How do plants make food? (3-I.3)
- B2.6 describe ways in which people, including Indigenous peoples, from various cultures around the world use plants for food, shelter, medicine, and clothing
- B2.7 describe various plants used for food, including those grown by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, and identify local settings where these plants are grown or found
