Grade 1 Science

1.1.1 Students will develop an understanding of systems, order, and organization. (Use one or more of the five senses to observe objects within the student‚s environment; use observations to sort objects by their characteristics)

1.1.2 Students will develop an understanding of evidence, models, and explanation. (Describe and record how a model, such as photos, maps, globes, illustrations, stuffed animals, toys, and building blocks can represent an object, living thing, or an event)

1.1.3 Students will develop an understanding of change, constancy, and measurement. (Recognize that change can be noted and measured; recognize that things change in some ways and stay the same in others; compare two or more objects using direct comparisons of measurement, such as shorter, longer, taller, heavier, and lighter; use both standard units of measurement, such as inches and centimeters, and nonstandard units of measurement, such as string and paper clips; use appropriate measurement systems for different purposes)

1.1.4 Students will develop an understanding of form and function. (Demonstrate how the shape of a tool is related to its use; explain how living things interact with their environment because of specific characteristics, such as how the long neck of the giraffe helps it to reach its food)

1.2.1 Students will develop the abilities needed to do scientific inquiry. (Ask questions about their surroundings; plan and conduct a simple investigation; collect scientific information from careful observation; use simple equipment and tools, such as magnifying glasses, thermometers, and balance scales, to extend the senses; share findings with classmates, families, and community members)

1.3.1 Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics of materials. (Observe and describe characteristics of common materials, such as paper, wood, metal, and wool; investigate how common materials will float, sink, mix, dissolve, or not dissolve in various liquids; observe that materials can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas)

1.4.1 Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics of living things. (Differentiate between living and nonliving things; investigate how living things need food, water, and air to survive; describe how roots, stems, and leaves serve different functions for plants; compare and contrast animals by specific characteristics, such as body covering, diet, and habitat; observe and recognize that organisms live and survive in distinct habitats)

1.4.2 Students will develop an understanding of the life cycles of organisms. (Describe how living things change as they grow; describe how offspring resemble their parents)

1.5.1 Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics of earth materials. (Observe that materials of the earth, such as water, support life; observe that the earth‚s surface is made up of a variety of rocks, minerals, and soils)

1.5.2 Students will develop an understanding of the objects in the sky. (Recognize objects in the sky, such as the sun, moon, and stars; recognize that the sun provides heat and light)

1.5.3 Students will develop an understanding of the changes in the earth and sky. (Describe daily weather changes; describe seasonal weather changes)

1.6.1 Students will develop an understanding of technological design. (Explain how the use of common household tools is determined by their design)

1.6.2 Students will develop an understanding of science and technology. (Use various tools, such as a magnifying glass, thermometer, or measuring tape, to improve observations and measurements; identify, investigate, and solve a problem in the home or school; identify the technology used in different occupations)

1.7.1 Students will develop an understanding of personal health. (Follow safety rules for home and school; engage in personal care that will maintain and improve health; describe a healthy diet; explain that substances can benefit or damage the way the body functions)

1.7.2 Students will develop an understanding of resources. (Observe and describe how reducing, reusing, and recycling help our environment)

1.8.1 Students will develop an understanding of science as a human endeavor. (Recognize the contributions to science made by men and women from many countries; conduct an investigation as an individual; conduct an investigation as part of a team)
