From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 1-LS1-1.

    Construct an evidence-based argument with the use of a drawing or a model that illustrates how structures of plants or animals help them survive in their habitat.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

Engineering & Technology

  • K-2-ET1-1.

    Ask questions, make observations, and gather information to define a simple problem (a situation people want to change) that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.K-2-ET1-1

  • K-2-ET1-2.

    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-ET1-2

  • K-2-ET1-3.

    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-ET1-3

Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

  • 1-LS3-1.
