3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
October 1, 20184-ESS2-1
Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
October 1, 20183-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
October 1, 20183-5-ETS1-3
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
October 1, 20183-LS1-1
Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
October 1, 20183-LS2-1
Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
October 1, 20181-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.
October 1, 20182-LS4-1
Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats
October 1, 20181-LS1-2
Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.
October 1, 20182-PS1-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
October 1, 20181-LS3-1
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
October 1, 20182-PS1-2
Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.*
