‍‍‍**Notes and Additional Information**
1. L.2.1 Students know plants are living things that need energy and grow. Students know plants need to take in water, nutrients and light (to make their own food) for energy and growth. 1. L.2.2 Students know animals are living things that grow and have basic needs for energy, air, and water. Animals depend on plants to provide them with energy directly or indirectly. Animals take in plants or other animals as an energy source.
