PS Physical Science

• PS.1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can cause materials to vibrate.

• PS.2 Make observations to construct an evidence-based explanation that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

  • More light or less light (1-F.1)

• PS.3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

  • Investigate shadows (1-F.2)
  • Which lets light go through? (1-F.3)

• PS.4 Design a solution or build a device that facilitates communication over distance using light or sound.

  • How do we use light and sound to communicate? (1-F.4)

LS Life Science

• LS.1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking plant and animal structures and functions that help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

  • How do animals use their body parts? (1-H.2)
  • Identify plant parts (1-I.2)
  • Identify what plant parts do (1-I.3)

• LS.2 Use information from print and other media to identify patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

• LS.3 Make an evidence-based explanation of how young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

  • Match animals to their parents (1-H.3)
  • Match plants to their parents (1-I.4)
  • Compare young living things to their parents (1-J.4)

ESS Earth and Space Science

• ESS.1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

  • The daytime sky (1-O.1)
  • The night sky (1-O.2)

• ESS.2 Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.
