Standard 1: Properties of Objects and Materials – Characteristics
of objects can be described using physical properties such as
size, shape, color, or texture. The
student will engage in investigations that integrate the process
standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:
1. Objects have properties that can be observed, described, and
measured.
2. Using the five senses, objects can be grouped or ordered by
physical properties.
3. Water can be a liquid or a solid, and can be made to go back
and forth from one form to the other.
Standard 2: Characteristics and Basic Needs of Organisms – All
living things have structures that enable them to function in
unique and specific ways to obtain food, reproduce, and survive.
The student will engage in investigations that
integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the
following objectives:
1. Plants and animals need to take in air, water, and food. In
addition, plants need light.
2. Scientists use the five senses and tools (e.g., magnifiers and
rulers) to gather information, such as size and shape about
living things.
Standard 3: Changes of Earth and Sky – Observe natural changes
of all kinds such as the movement of the sun and variable
changes like the weather. The student will engage in
investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to
the discovery of the following objectives:
1. The sun warms the land, air, and water.
2. Weather changes from day to day and over the seasons.
Weather can be observed by measuring temperature and
describing cloud formations.

Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Evidence
Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
1-PS4-1: Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that
vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials
vibrate.
1-PS4-2: Make observations to construct an evidence-based account
that objects can be see only when illuminated.
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.
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.
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
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.
1-LS1-2: Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of
parents and offspring that help offspring survive.
Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
1-LS3-1: 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: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe
patterns that can be predicted.
1-ESS1-2: Make observations at different times of year to relate to
amount of daylight to the time of year.
Oklahoma Academic Standards
Crosscutting Concepts
Cause and Effect
 Simple tests can be designed to gather evidence to support or refute
student ideas about causes. (1-PS4-1, 1-PS4-2, 1-PS4-3)
Patterns
 Patterns in the natural and human designated world can be
observed and used as evidence. (1-LS1-2, 1-LS3-1, 1-ESS1-1,
ESS1-2)
Structure and Function
 The shape and stability of structures of natural and designed
objects are related to their function(s). (1-LS1-1)
No crosscutting concept for 1-PS4-4.
