| (A) identify and use patterns to describe phenomena
or design solutions;
(B) investigate and predict cause-and-effect relationships
in science;
(C) describe the properties of objects in terms of
relative size (scale) and relative quantity;
(D) examine the parts of a whole to define or model
a system;
(E) identify forms of energy and properties of matter;
(F) describe the relationship between the structure
and function of objects, organisms, and systems; and
(G) describe how factors or conditions can cause objects,
organisms, and systems to either change or stay the same.
(6) Matter and its properties. The student knows that
objects have physical properties that determine how they are described
and classified. The student is expected to identify and record observable
physical properties of objects, including shape, color, texture, and
material, and generate ways to classify objects.
(7) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that
forces cause changes in motion and position in everyday life. The
student is expected to describe and predict how a magnet interacts
with various materials and how magnets can be used to push or pull.
(8) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that
energy is everywhere and can be observed in everyday life. The student
is expected to:
(A) communicate the idea that objects can only be seen
when a light source is present and compare the effects of different
amounts of light on the appearance of objects; and
(B) demonstrate and explain that light travels through
some objects and is blocked by other objects, creating shadows.
(9) Earth and space. The student knows that there are
recognizable patterns in the natural world and among objects in the
sky. The student is expected to:
(A) identify, describe, and predict the patterns of
day and night and their observable characteristics; and
(B) observe, describe, and illustrate the Sun, Moon,
stars, and objects in the sky such as clouds.
(10) Earth and space. The student knows that the natural
world includes earth materials and systems that can be observed. The
student is expected to:
(A) describe and classify rocks by the observable properties
of size, shape, color, and texture;
(B) observe and describe weather changes from day to
day and over seasons; and
(C) identify evidence that supports the idea that air
is all around us and demonstrate that wind is moving air using items
such as a windsock, pinwheel, or ribbon.
(11) Earth and space. The student knows that earth
materials are important to everyday life. The student is expected
to observe and generate examples of practical uses for rocks, soil,
and water.
(12) Organisms and environments. The student knows
that plants and animals depend on the environment to meet their basic
needs for survival. The student is expected to:
(A) observe and identify the dependence of plants on
air, sunlight, water, nutrients in the soil, and space to grow; and
(B) observe and identify the dependence of animals
on air, water, food, space, and shelter.
(13) Organisms and environments. The student knows
that organisms resemble their parents and have structures and undergo
processes that help them interact and survive within their environments.
The student is expected to:
(A) identify the structures of plants, including roots,
stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits;
(B) identify the different structures that animals
have that allow them to interact with their environment such as seeing,
hearing, moving, and grasping objects;
(C) identify and record the changes from seed, seedling,
plant, flower, and fruit in a simple plant life cycle; and
(D) identify ways that young plants resemble the parent
plant.
