Core Ideas for Knowing Science
Core Ideas for Knowing Science
Life Science
L1: Organisms are organized on a cellular basis and have a finite life span.
E1: The composition of the Earth and its atmosphere and the natural and human processes occurring within them shape the Earth’s surface and its climate.
First Grade: Focus on Cause and Effect; Stability and Change (cycles)
First Grade: Focus on Cause and Effect; Stability and Change (cycles)
Life Sciences: Students develop an understanding that the Earth has supported, and continues to support, a large variety of organisms. These organisms can be distinguished by their physical characteristics, life cycles, and their different resource needs
Life Science Standards
1.L1U1.6. Observe, describe, and predict life cycles of animals and plants.
Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game & Study GuidePlants
1.L2U1.8. Construct an explanation describing how organisms obtain resources from the environment including materials that are used again by other organisms.
1.L2U2.7. Develop and use models about how living things use resources to grow and survive; design and evaluate habitats for organisms using earth materials.
1.L3U1.9. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support an evidence-based explanation that plants and animals produce offspring of the same kind, but offspring are generally not identical to each other or their parents.
Physical Sciences: Students develop an understanding of the effects of forces and waves, and how they can impact or be impacted by objects near and far away. They explore the relationships between sound and vibrating materials, as well as light and materi
Physical Science Standards
1.P2U1.2. Use models to provide evidence that vibrating matter creates sound and sound can make matter vibrate.

Earth and Space Sciences: Students develop an understanding that organisms depend on earth materials and other living organisms for survival.
Earth and Space Standards
1.E1U1.5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the properties of Earth materials and investigate how humans use natural resources in everyday life.
