PS Physical Science

• PS4 Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

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

  • 1-PS4-2 Make observations to support an evidence-based claim that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by light sources.

    • 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.

  • 1-PS4-4 Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to communicate over a distance.

    • How do we use light and sound to communicate? (1-F.3)

LS Life Science

• LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 1-LS1-1 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.

    • Identify what plant parts do (K-H.3)
    • Identify plant parts (1-I.2)

  • 1-LS1-2 Obtain information from multiple sources to determine patterns in parent and offspring behavior that help offspring survive.

• LS3 Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

  • 1-LS3-1 Make observations to support an evidence-based claim that most young are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

    • Match animals to their parents (1-H.2)
    • Match plants to their parents (1-I.4)

ESS Earth and Space Science

• ESS1 Earth's Place in the Universe

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

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