SC-EP-1.1.1 Material Obj / Properties
The learner will be able to
classify material objects by their properties providing evidence to support their classifications.
Objects are made of one or more materials such as paper, wood and metal. Objects can be described by the properties of the materials from which they are made. Those properties and measurements of the objects can be used to separate or classify objects or materials.

SC-EP-1.2.1 Magnets and Interation
The learner will be able to
describe and make inferences about the interactions of magnets with other magnets and other matter (e.g., magnets can make some things move without touching them).
Magnets have observable properties that allow them to attract and repel each other and attract certain kinds of other materials (e.g., iron). Based on the knowledge of the basic properties of magnets, predictions can be made and conclusions drawn about their interactions with other common objects. DOK 3

SC-EP-1.2.3 Objects / Motion
The learner will be able to
describe the position and motion of objects and predict changes in position and motion as related to the strength of pushes and pulls.
The position and motion of objects can be changed by pushing or pulling, and can be explored in a variety of ways (such as rolling different objects down different ramps). The amount of change in position and motion is related to the strength of the push or pull (force). The force with which a ball is hit illustrates this principle. By examining cause and effect relationships related to forces and motions, consequences of change can be predicted.

SC-EP-2.3.1 Earth Materials
The learner will be able to
describe and classify earth materials (solid rocks, soils, water, and gases of the atmosphere) using their properties.
Earth materials include solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere. Minerals that make up rocks have properties of color, luster and hardness. Soils have properties of color, texture, the capacity to retain water, and the ability to support plant growth. Water on Earth and in the atmosphere can be a solid, liquid, or gas. DOK 2

SC-EP-2.3.3 Objects in Sky
The learner will be able to

SC-EP-2.3.4 Sun / Earth / Movements
The learner will be able to
describe the movement of the sun in the sky using evidence of interactions of the sun with the earth (e.g., shadows, position of sun relative to horizon) to identify patterns of movement.
Changes in movement of objects in the sky have patterns that can be observed and described. The Sun appears to move across the sky in the same way every day, but the Sun's apparent path changes slowly over seasons. Recognizing relationships between movements of objects and resulting phenomena, such as shadows, provides information that can be used to make predictions and draw conclusions about those movements.

SC-EP-3.4.1 Organisms / Basic Needs
The learner will be able to
explain the basic needs of organisms.
Organisms have basic needs. For example, animals need air, water and food; plants need air, water, nutrients and light. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met.

The learner will be able to
describe the basic structures and related functions of plants and animals that contribute to growth, reproduction and survival.
Each plant or animal has observable structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing and talking. These observable structures should be explored to sort, classify, compare and describe organisms.

The learner will be able to
describe a variety of plant and animal life cycles to understand patterns of the growth, development, reproduction and death of an organism.
Plants and animals have life cycles that include the beginning of life, growth and development, reproduction and death. The details of a life cycle are different for different organisms. Observations of different life cycles should be made in order to identify patterns and recognize similarities and differences.

SC-EP-3.5.1 Fossils /Describe
The learner will be able to
describe fossils as evidence of organisms that lived long ago, some of which may be similar to others that are alive today.
Fossils found in Earth materials provide evidence about organisms that lived long ago and the nature of the environment at that time. Making observations of fossils, describing them and using those descriptions as evidence to draw conclusions about the organisms and basic environments represented by the fossils should occur in order to promote understanding.

The learner will be able to
describe basic relationships of plants and animals in an ecosystem (food chains).
Plants make their own food. All animals depend on plants. Some animals eat plants for food. Other animals eat animals that eat the plants. Basic relationships and connections between organisms in food chains can be used to discover patterns within ecosystems.
