Part of: [Alabama: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/al-sci.md)

Goal: Alabama academic standards: Science, Grade 1

## 1. Earth’s Place in the Universe

- [Why seasons change](https://ai.page/c/why-seasons-change/index.md): Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year, noticing longer days in summer and shorter days in winter
- [Sun, Moon, and stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars-science/index.md): Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night
- [Sun, Moon & Stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars/index.md): Identify the Sun, Moon, and stars as objects in the sky and describe basic differences: the Sun gives light and heat during the day, stars are tiny points of light at night, and the Moon can appear in both the day and night sky

## 2. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

- [Inherited characteristics](https://ai.page/c/inherited-characteristics/index.md): Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms
- [Offspring resemble parents](https://ai.page/c/offspring-resemble-parents/index.md): Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences

## 3. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

- [Living Things Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/living-things-vocabulary/index.md): Name and use vocabulary for what makes something living — alive, dead, never been alive, movement, nutrition, growth, reproduction, sensitivity, excretion — and apply these terms when classifying objects and explaining why plants and animals count as living things
- [Seeds & Plant Growth](https://ai.page/c/seeds-and-plant-growth/index.md): Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants through stages of germination and growth
- [Structures for Survival](https://ai.page/c/structures-for-survival/index.md): Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction

## 4. Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

- [Light & Seeing in the Dark](https://ai.page/c/light-and-seeing-in-the-dark/index.md): Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
- [Communication with Light & Sound](https://ai.page/c/communication-with-light-and-sound/index.md): Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
- [Transparent, Translucent & Opaque](https://ai.page/c/transparent-translucent-and-opaque/index.md): Investigate the effect of placing objects made of different materials in the path of a beam of light, discovering transparent, translucent, and opaque materials
- [Vibrations & Sound](https://ai.page/c/vibrations-and-sound/index.md): Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
