| Grade | Discipline | Core Idea |
|---|---|---|
| PreK-2 | LS2.A: Interdependent relationships in ecosystems | Plants depend on water and light to grow, and also depend on animals for pollination or to move their seeds around. |
| 3-5 | LS2.A: Interdependent relationships in ecosystems | The food of almost any animal can be traced back to plants.
