Assess students' understanding of how seasonal changes (spring, summer, fall, winter) influence plant and animal life, including observable plant responses (leaf change, flowering, dormancy) and animal behaviors (migration, hibernation, changing shelters, food-seeking). Tasks include identifying examples, matching behaviors to seasons, explaining simple cause-and-effect relationships, making basic predictions from pictures or short observations, and using age-appropriate vocabulary and observations for Pre-K–Grade 2 learners.
