PS Physical Science

• Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

  • 1-PS4-1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that sound can make materials vibrate and that vibrating materials can make sound.

  • 1-PS4-2 Construct an evidence-based account, through observation, that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

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

  • 1-PS4-3 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)

  • 1-PS4-4 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)

LS Life Science

• From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 1-LS1-1 Construct an evidence-based argument with the use of a drawing or a model that illustrates how structures of plants or animals help them survive in their habitat.

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

  • 1-LS1-2 Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

• Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

  • 1-LS3-1 Construct an evidence-based account, through observation, that young plants and animals are alike, 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

• Earth's Place in the Universe

  • 1-ESS1-1 Describe patterns that can be predicted through observations of the sun, moon, and stars.

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

  • 1-ESS1-2 Make observations at different times of the year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.

ET Engineering & Technology

• Engineering & Technology

  • K-2-ET1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information to define a simple problem (a situation people want to change) that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

    • Design a race car track (1-P.1)
    • Design a sunshade (1-P.2)

  • K-2-ET1-2 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.

    • Design a race car track (1-P.1)
    • Design a sunshade (1-P.2)

  • K-2-ET1-3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

    • Design a race car track (1-P.1)
    • Design a sunshade (1-P.2)
