First grade Power Standards aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards
Physical Science
- 1-PS4-1 – Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
- 1-PS4-4 – Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
Earth/Space Science
- 1-ESS1-1 – Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Life Science
- 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 need.
