SC.1.2 Waves: Light and Sound

• SC.1.2.1 Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of light and sound waves.

  • SC.1.2.1.a Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

  • SC.1.2.1.b Make observations to construct an evidence-based explanation that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

    • More light or less light (1-F.1)

  • SC.1.2.1.c 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)

  • SC.1.2.1.d Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

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

SC.1.6 Structure, Function, and Information Processing

• SC.1.6.2 Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence to show the relationship between structure and function in living things.

  • SC.1.6.2.a Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to 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)

  • SC.1.6.2.b Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

  • SC.1.6.2.c Read grade appropriate texts and use media to determine patterns in a behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

  • SC.1.6.2.d Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that 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)

SC.1.11 Space Systems: Patterns and Cycles

• SC.1.11.3 Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of patterns and cycles of space systems.

  • SC.1.11.3.a 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)

  • SC.1.11.3.b Make observations at different times of the year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.

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