I created an Inspiredata spreadsheet on farm animals. I teach kindergarten in Indiana. Here are the standards it covers.

Standard 4
The Living Environment
Students ask questions about a variety of living things and everyday events that can be answered through shared observations.
Diversity of Life
K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.
K.4.2 Observe plants and animals, describing how they are alike and how they are different in the way they look and in the things they do.
Scientific Inquiry
K.1.1 Raise questions about the natural world.

Since I'm a 4th grade teacher, I decided to do my data analysis on some famous Hoosiers. Here are the Indiana Academic Standards.

Standard 3 — Geography
Students will explain how Earth/sun relationships influence the climate of Indiana; identify the components of Earth’s physical systems; describe the major physical and cultural characteristics of Indiana; give examples of how the interaction of people with their environment has changed over time and continues to change; and identify regions of Indiana.

Standard 5 — Individuals, Society, and Culture
Students will examine the interaction between individual and group behavior in state and community life; analyze the roles and relationships of diverse groups of people contributing to Indiana’s cultural heritage; and describe the impacts of science, technology, and the arts on Indiana’s culture.
