Science
LIFE SCIENCE
3.1.1.A – 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.
3.1.1.B – read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.
3.1.1.C – make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
3.2.1.A – plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
3.2.1.B – make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.
3.2.1.C – plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
3.2.1.D – use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
