This pack is a supporting vocabulary fit to NGSS 1-LS1-2 (Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive), because the cards help students name ways animal parents help their offspring survive (feeding, protecting, carrying, keeping warm, teaching, and cleaning) and name homes and young such as a nest, den, pouch, egg, cub, and chick. This is vocabulary practice with picture, definition, coloring, and write-the-name pages, not a complete 1-LS1-2 investigation. The PDF does not print a grade or standard code. Best-fit tag is Grade 1, matching NGSS 1-LS1-2 parent-and-offspring survival vocabulary.
