Engineering DesignK-2-ETS1

  • K-2-ETS1-1.

    Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.K-2-ETS1-1

  • K-2-ETS1-2.

    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.K-2-ETS1-2

  • K-2-ETS1-3.

    Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.K-2-ETS1-3

Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer1-PS4

  • 1-PS4-1.

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

  • 1-PS4-2.

    Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.1-PS4-2

  • 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-PS4-3

  • 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.1-PS4-4

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes1-LS1

  • 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-LS1-1

  • 1-LS1-2.

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

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits1-LS3

  • 1-LS3-1.

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

Earth's Place in the Universe1-ESS1

  • 1-ESS1-1.

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

  • 1-ESS1-2.

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