Every resource on this page is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for 4th grade life science.
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.

Your Workybooks subscription includes this entire life science unit — plus thousands more standards-aligned resources across K–8 Science, ELA, Math, and Social Studies.
In fourth grade, students investigate life science through the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), exploring how plants and animals are built to survive. Students examine internal and external structures and discover how each part serves a specific function.
The 4-LS1 standards ask students to explore two big ideas: constructing arguments about how structures support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction in plants and animals, and modeling how animals sense and respond to information from their environment.
At Workybooks, we've built this complete life science unit around NGSS performance expectations 4-LS1-1 and 4-LS1-2. Each topic includes a standards-aligned reading passage at the right Lexile level for 4th graders, plus worksheets, activities, and anchor charts.
