Showing 1 - 2 of 2 Standards

Standard Identifier: 1-LS1-2

Grade: 1
Disciplinary Core Idea: LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms
Cross Cutting Concept: CCC-1: Patterns
Science & Engineering Practice: SEP-8: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
Content Area: Life Science

Title: 1-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

Performance Expectation: Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns of behaviors could include the signals that offspring make (such as crying, cheeping, and other vocalizations) and the responses of the parents (such as feeding, comforting, and protecting the offspring).]

Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms Adult plants and animals can have young. In many kinds of animals, parents and the offspring themselves engage in behaviors that help the offspring to survive.

Science & Engineering Practices: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information Read grade-appropriate texts and use media to obtain scientific information to determine patterns in the natural world. Connections to Nature of Science: Scientific Knowledge is Based on Empirical Evidence Scientists look for patterns and order when making observations about the world.

Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns Patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.

California Environmental Principles and Concepts:
Principle II The long-term functioning and health of terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems are influenced by their relationships with human societies.

California Common Core State Standards Connections:
ELA/Literacy RI.1.1: Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. RI.1.2: Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text. RI.1.10: With prompting and support, read informational texts appropriately complex for grade. a. Activate prior knowledge related to the information and events in a text. b. Confirm predictions about what will happen next in a text. Mathematics 1.NBT.3: Compare two two-digit numbers based on the meanings of the tens and one digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <. 1.NBT.4-6: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Standard Identifier: 3-ESS2-2

Grade: 3
Disciplinary Core Idea: ESS2.D: Weather and Climate
Cross Cutting Concept: CCC-1: Patterns
Science & Engineering Practice: SEP-8: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
Content Area: Earth and Space Science

Title: 3-ESS2 Earth’s Systems

Performance Expectation: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.

Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
ESS2.D: Weather and Climate Climate describes a range of an area's typical weather conditions and the extent to which those conditions vary over years.

Science & Engineering Practices: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information Obtain and combine information from books and other reliable media to explain phenomena.

Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns Patterns of change can be used to make predictions.

California Common Core State Standards Connections:
ELA/Literacy RI.3.1: Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. RI.3.9: Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic. W.3.8: Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories. Mathematics MP.2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. MP.4: Model with mathematics.
