Module: Social and Group Behavior
DCI: LS2.D Social Interactions and Group Behavior – Being part of a
group helps animals obtain food, defend themselves, and cope with changes.
Groups may serve different functions and vary dramatically in size.
PE: 3-LS2-1 Construct an argument that some animals form groups
that help members survive.
There are no clarification statements for this standard.
The ideas in this standard are:
- being in a group helps animals get food
- being in a group helps animals defend themselves
- being in a group helps animals cope with changes
- groups of animals may serve different functions
- groups of animals vary dramatically in size
In order to address the PE, we will have to provide evidence of some group behavior and ask why this group does this certain thing, with the emphasis being on the fact that it allows them to survive.
Possible Question Starters
"Ants live in colonies with different ants doing different jobs. How does living like this help the ants?"

"Which of the following is true for all animal groups?"
correct = animal groups help the animals survive
incorrect = all animals live in groups the same size
"How does living in a group help a pack of wolves get food?"
correct = a group of wolves can more easily catch animals
incorrect = wolves in groups can share their living space
(other wrong answers should be non-advantages of advantages that do not relate to food.)
