Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

• 1.PS4.1(Standard)

  Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

• 1.PS4.2(Standard)

  Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.

• 1.PS4.3(Standard)

  Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

• 1.PS4.4(Standard)

  Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.*

From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Function

• 1.LS1.1(Standard)

  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.*

• 1.LS1.2(Standard)

  Obtain information from media and/or text to determine patterns in the behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

• 1.LS3.1(Standard)

  Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.

Earth’s Place in the Universe

• 1.ESS1.1(Standard)

  Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

• 1.ESS1.2(Standard)

  Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight and relative temperature to the time of year.

Earth and Human Activity

• 1.ESS3.1(Standard)

  Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.*
