                     Status: This curriculum is currently implemented by DPI but is not yet tested. Refer to an earlier version for the
                     currently tested curriculum.
 

                     1   The learner will build an understanding of plant growth and adaptations.
                     1-1 Determine that the quantities and qualities of nutrients, light, and water in the environment affect plant growth.
                     1-2 Observe how environmental conditions can determine how well plants grow and survive in a particular environment.
                     1-3 Analyze plant structures for specific functions:
                             - Growth.
                             - Reproduction.
                     1- 4 Determine that new plants can be generated from:
                             - Seeds.
                             - Tubers.
                             - Bulbs.
                             - Cuttings.
                     1-5 Determine that the number of seeds a plant can produce depends on variables such as light, water, nutrients, and degree of pollination.
