What to know Some animals migrate, hibernate, change behavior, or grow different coverings. Responses help animals find food, survive temperature changes, or reproduce. Different species can respond differently to the same season. 🔎 Think like a scientist Some birds migrate to areas with more food while other birds remain and change what they eat.

What to know Some trees lose leaves as daylight and temperature change. Plants may flower, grow, become dormant, or produce seeds in particular seasons. Seasonal response patterns vary among plants and climates. 🔎 Think like a scientist A deciduous tree may drop leaves and become dormant, while an evergreen keeps many leaves through winter.

LESSON 10.3 · SC.3.L.17.1
Use Seasonal Evidence Learning goal: Use observations to connect a response with a seasonal change.
What to know Evidence may include temperature, daylight, rainfall, food supply, and repeated behavior. A response is something an organism does or changes. Avoid claiming every organism responds in exactly the same way. 🔎 Think like a scientist Repeated records show butterflies arriving as spring temperatures rise and host plants grow; the pattern supports a seasonal connection.
