# Grade 1: Science A course roadmap (science). Language: en. By @si. Licence: CC BY-SA 4.0. 0 of 14 concepts ready. In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ma-sci-grade-1 Part of: [Massachusetts: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ma-sci.md) Goal: Massachusetts academic standards: Science, Grade 1 ## 1. Technology/Engineering · Engineering Design - [Comparing Design Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-design-solutions/index.md): Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design ## 2. Physical Science · Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer - [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 ## 3. Life Science · Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits - [Inheritance Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/inheritance-vocabulary/index.md): Use vocabulary for variation and inheritance — inherited characteristic, acquired characteristic, variation, offspring, trait, species, breed, genetic, environment — and apply these when comparing organisms and explaining similarities and differences within and between species - [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 ## 4. Life Science · From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes - [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 - [How Plant Parts Work](https://ai.page/c/how-plant-parts-work/index.md): Identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots absorb water and nutrients, stems transport materials, leaves make food, flowers enable reproduction - [What Living Things Need](https://ai.page/c/what-living-things-need/index.md): Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions ## 5. Earth and Space Sciences · 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 - [Seasonal changes](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes/index.md): Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies - [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 ## 6. History and Social Science and the Standards for Literacy (Pre-K - 5) - [Could there be another explanation?](https://ai.page/c/could-there-be-another-explanation/index.md): For any result, ask: is there another explanation? — the first explanation that fits isn't always the right one, and good scientists actively look for alternatives - [Drawing conclusions from evidence](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence/index.md): Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 14 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
