3 to Texas Science Grade Five TAKS Grades 2 5 Objective 2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the life sciences. This objective assesses students understanding of inherited traits and the diversity of life through a focus on the similarities and differences between organisms. The objective also addresses the basic needs of living organisms through the study of the traits and behaviors of plants and animals in different environments. The concepts of evolution, ecology, and genetics are introduced at their most fundamental levels for the Elementary Science TAKS test. Students need to understand that they are interconnected with the world around them. Awareness of this interdependence will enable them to be better informed when making decisions concerning their health, their well-being, and their environment. Through the study of populations, students begin to see themselves as part of an ecosystem. The life science concepts learned in the elementary grades provide the foundation for the biological concepts tested on the grades 8, 10, and exit level TAKS.
