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 construct an evidence-based account that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated.
1-PS4-3
Plan and conduct investigations 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 solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

Life Science

LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structure 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.
1-LS1-2
Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

1-LS3-1
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

Earth and Space Sciences

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.
