|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Animals Help Their Babies Survive; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-LS1-2 | Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. |
| Communication Over Distances; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-PS4-4 | Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. |
| Four Seasons and Day Length; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-ESS1-2 | Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. |
| Inspired by Nature (Biomimicry); | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-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. |
| Introduction to Light; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-PS4-2 | Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated. |
| Introduction to Light; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-PS4-3 | Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light. |
| Introduction to Sound; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-PS4-1 | Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. |
| Introduction to Traits; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-LS3-1 | Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents. |
| Patterns in the Sky; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | 1-ESS1-1 | Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. |
| What is Engineering?; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | K-2-ETS1-1 | Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. |
| What is Engineering?; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | K-2-ETS1-2 | 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. |
| What is Engineering?; | NGSS | K-12 | 1 | K-2-ETS1-3 | Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. |
