Science
Scientific Testing (Investigating and Modeling): Participate in planning and conducting investigations, and recording data.
Conduct simple investigations (e.g., related to plant life cycles, changing the pitch of a sound, properties of rocks) in life, physical, and Earth and space sciences.
Physical Science - Students will: Define force and motion.
Identifying forces that change an object's position or motion. Examples: lifting, pushing, pulling
Concepts of Earth Science (SD1, SD2, SD3, SD4) The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by identifying and comparing a variety of Earth's land features (i.e., rivers, deltas, lakes, glaciers, mountains, valleys, and islands).
Concepts of Earth Science (SD1, SD2, SD3, SD4) The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that objects appear smaller the farther away they are.
Physical Science - Students will: Describe ways energy from the sun is used. Examples: plant growth, light, heat
Identifying fossil fuels as a source of energy
Earth and Space Science - Students will: Describe Earth's layers, including inner and outer cores, mantle, and crust.
Classifying rocks and minerals by characteristics, including streak, color, hardness, magnetism, luster, and texture
Life Science - Students will: Describe the life cycle of plants, including seed, seed germination, growth, and reproduction.
Describing the role of plants in a food chain
Organisms and Environments: Understand the relationships among various organisms and their environment.
Examine an ecosystem to identify microscopic and macroscopic organisms.
Concepts of Earth Science (SD1, SD2, SD3, SD4) The student demonstrates an understanding of geochemical cycles by describing the water cycle to show that water circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere of Earth.
Earth and Space Science: The students will develop an understanding of the properties of earth materials, the structure of the Earth system, the Earth's history, and the Earth's place in the universe. Grade Level Expectation: Objects in the Sky: Identify, in order, the planets of the solar system (ESS-E-B1)
Life Science - Students will: Determine habitat conditions that support plant growth and survival. Examples: deserts support cacti, wetlands support ferns and mosses
Life Science - Students will: Describe the life cycle of plants, including seed, seed germination, growth, and reproduction.
Identifying photosynthesis as the method used by plants to produce food
Science as Inquiry and Process: A student should understand and be able to apply the processes and applications of scientific inquiry. A student who meets the content standard should: Develop an understanding of the processes of science used to investigate problems, design and conduct repeatable scientific investigations, and defend scientific arguments.
Nature of Science: Characteristics and Processes of Science: Students shall demonstrate and apply knowledge of the characteristics and processes of science using appropriate safety procedures, equipment, and technology. Scientific Equipment and Technology: Use simple equipment, age appropriate tools, technology, and mathematics in scientific investigations (e.g., balances, hand lenses, microscopes, rulers, thermometers, calculators, computers)
Application of Science: Students will identify how the parts of a system interact, recognize and use models as representations of real things., observe and identify patterns of change, consistency or regularity within the environment, demonstrate the ability to utilize technology to gather and organize data to communicate designs, results and conclusions, identify that a solution to a problem often creates new problems, demonstrate the ability to listen to, be tolerant of, and evaluate the impact of different points of view on health, population, resources and environmental practices while working in collaborative groups. Cite examples of the uses of science and technology in common daily events and in the community.
Physical, Earth, and Space Sciences: FORCE AND MOTION: Understand the relationship between force, mass, and motion of objects; and know the major natural forces: gravitational, electric, and magnetic TOPIC: Forces and Motion
Compare how simple machines do work to make life easier
Physical Science - Students will: Describe ways energy from the sun is used. Examples: plant growth, light, heat
Identifying fossil fuels as a source of energy
Concepts of Life Science (SC1, SC2, SC3) The student demonstrates an understanding of how science explains changes in life forms over time, including genetics, heredity, the process of natural selection and biological evolution by describing how some traits (e.g. claws, teeth, camouflage) of living organisms have helped them survive as a species.
Mathematics
Math Daily Spiral Review (1st Grade) provides short, daily practice activities that revisit and strengthen key language arts skills. Each day’s work is designed to take 5–10 minutes and includes a mix of topics students have already learned, so they keep practicing while moving forward.
