Grade 1

Energy1.PS3

  • 1.

    Make observations to determine how sunlight warms Earth's surfaces (sand, soil, rocks, and water).1.PS3.1

Waves and Their Application in Technologies for Information Transfer1.PS4

  • 1.

    Use a model to describe how light is required to make objects visible. Summarize how Illumination could be from an external light source or by an object giving off its own light.1.PS4.1

  • 2.

    Determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials (transparent, translucent, opaque, and reflective) in the path of a beam of light.1.PS4.2

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes1.LS1

  • 1.

    Recognize the structure of plants (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) and describe the function of the parts (taking in water and air, producing food, making new plants).1.LS1.1

  • 2.

    Illustrate and summarize the life cycle of plants.1.LS1.2

  • 3.

    Analyze and interpret data from observations to describe how changes in the environment cause plants to respond in different ways.1.LS1.3

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics1.LS2

  • 1.

    Conduct an experiment to show how plants depend on air, water, minerals from soil, and light to grow and thrive.1.LS2.1

  • 2.

    Obtain and communicate information to classify plants by where they grow (water, land) and the plant's physical characteristics.1.LS2.2

  • 3.

    Recognize how plants depend on their surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live.1.LS2.3

Earth's Place in the Universe1.ESS1

  • 1.

    Use observations or models of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.1.ESS1.1

  • 2.

    Observe natural objects in the sky that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye and recognize that a telescope, used as a tool, can provide greater detail of objects in the sky.1.ESS1.2

  • 3.

    Analyze data to predict patterns between sunrise and sunset, and the change of seasons.1.ESS1.3

Engineering Design1.ETS1

  • 1.

    Solve scientific problems by asking testable questions, making short-term and long-term observations, and gathering information.1.ETS1.1

Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society1.ETS2

  • 1.

    Use appropriate tools (magnifying glass, basic balance scale) to make observations and answer testable scientific questions.1.ETS2.1
