When using tools and materials to design and build a device, identify features of devices that people use to send and receive information over long distances.

Identify how animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Identify how plants use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Identify a design solution to a human problem which is similar to how a plant or animal uses its external parts to help it survive, grow, and meet its needs.
