TEKS – 1ST Semester
2.5 The student knows that organisms, objects, and events have properties and patterns.
A Classify and sequence organisms, objects, and events based on properties and
patterns.
2.6 The student knows that systems have parts and are composed of organisms and objects.
A Manipulate, predict, and identify parts that, when separated from the whole, may
result in the part or the whole not working, such as flashlights without batteries and
plants without leaves.
B Manipulate, predict, and identify parts that, when put together, can do things they
cannot do by themselves, such as a guitar and guitar strings.
2.7 The student knows that many types of change occur.
A Observe, measure, record, analyze, predict, and illustrate changes in size, mass,
temperature, color, position, quantity, sound, and movement
C Demonstrate a change in the motion of an object by giving the object a push or pull.

atmosphere.
A Describe and illustrate the water cycle.
B Identify uses of natural resources.
* Student expectations tested on the Elementary TAKS.
Including is used when the examples that follow it must be taught.
Such as is used when the examples that follow it are suggested examples.
Verbs are highlighted.
Strikethrough is used when this portion of the student expectation is not included in this unit.
