Title: 1-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Performance Expectation: 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.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of human problems that can be solved by mimicking plant or animal solutions could include designing clothing or equipment to protect bicyclists by mimicking turtle shells, acorn shells, and animal scales; stabilizing structures by mimicking animal tails and roots on plants; keeping out intruders by mimicking thorns on branches and animal quills; and, detecting intruders by mimicking eyes and ears.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
LS1.A: Structure and Function All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. LS1.D: Information Processing Animals have body parts that capture and convey different kinds of information needed for growth and survival. Animals respond to these inputs with behaviors that help them survive. Plants also respond to some external inputs.
Science & Engineering Practices: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions Use materials to design a device that solves a specific problem or a solution to a specific problem.
Crosscutting Concepts: Structure and Function The shape and stability of structures of natural and designed objects are related to their function(s). Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science: Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World Every human-made product is designed by applying some knowledge of the natural world and is built using materials derived from the natural world.

Performance Expectation: Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of devices could include a light source to send signals, paper cup and string “telephones,” and a pattern of drum beats.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include technological details for how communication devices work.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
PS4.C: Information Technologies and Instrumentation People also use a variety of devices to communicate (send and receive information) over long distances.
Science & Engineering Practices: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions Use tools and materials provided to design a device that solves a specific problem.
Crosscutting Concepts: Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science: Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science, on Society and the Natural World People depend on various technologies in their lives; human life would be very different without technology.

ELA/Literacy W.1.7: Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of “how-to” books on a given topic and use them to write a sequence of instructions). Mathematics MP.5: Use appropriate tools strategically. 1.MD.1-2: Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.

Disciplinary Core Idea:
ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth
Cross Cutting Concept:
CCC-7: Stability and Change
Science & Engineering Practice:
SEP-6: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Content Area:
Earth and Space Science
Title: 2-ESS1 Earth’s Place in the Universe
Performance Expectation: Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly. [Clarification Statement: Examples of events and timescales could include volcanic explosions and earthquakes, which happen quickly and erosion of rocks, which occurs slowly.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative measurements of timescales.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a time period much longer than one can observe.
Science & Engineering Practices: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions Make observations from several sources to construct an evidence-based account for natural phenomena.
Crosscutting Concepts: Stability and Change Things may change slowly or rapidly.

ELA/Literacy RI.2.1: Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. RI.2.3: Describe the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text. W.2.6: With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers. W.2.7: Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations). W.2.8: Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. SL.2.2: Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media. a. Give and follow three- and four-step oral directions. Mathematics MP.2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. MP.4: Model with mathematics. 2.NBT.1-4: Understand place value.
