Benchmarks
SC.5.L.14.2 -Compare and contrast the function of organs and other
physical structures of plants and animals, including humans, for
example: some animals have skeletons for support -- some with
internal skeletons others with exoskeletons -- while some plants have
stems for support.
SC.5.N.2.1 Recognize and explain that science is grounded in
empirical observations that are testable; explaining must always be
linked with evidence.
LACC.5.W.3.9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to
support analysis, reflection, and research.
LACC.5.SL.1.1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative
discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse
partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and
expressing their own clearly.

Comparing Plants and Animals
How are the structures that have similar functions
alike and different among plants and animals?
Objectives:
• Compare and contrast the functions of organs
and structures of plants and animals.
• Illustrate and name a “planimal” with a set of
randomly selected attributes.
Let’s read the AIMS Booklet:

Structures and Their Functions
AIMS Booklet …
1. How are plants and
animals alike? (p. 2)
They both have needs like water
and food.
They both grow and reproduce.
They both have parts and
structures that help them stay
alive.
1. How are they different? Animals need to get food to eat.
Plants make their own food
(p. 3)
using energy from the sun,
water and CO2.
They do not have the same

parts or structures.
What needs are common to both?
(pp. 4 - 11)
• Protection
• Support
• Water
• Gas exchange
• transport
Department of Mathematics and Science
What are some examples of structures that
exist to meet these needs?

Planimal Activity Group Procedures
1. Take turns within your group so that each person spins
one of the attribute spinners one at a time.
2. Record the attribute result for each of the six spinners
on your group’s Planimal Attribute activity sheet.
3. After you finish, you will work as a group to draw a
picture of your group’s planimal that incorporates all of
the attributes/characteristics that were spun.
4. You can add other features, like noses, eyes, ears, as
long as they are not related to any of functions on the
spinners.
5. Name your group’s planimal and answer the questions
on the bottom of planimals activity sheet.
Planimals
Connected Learning
1. What are some ways that plants and animals
are alike?... Different?
2. In what ways is your planimal like a plant?...
Animal? You?
3. Overall, do you think your planimal is most like
a plant or most like an animal? Why?
4. Complete the Comparing Concepts organizer
comparing plants to animals.
