Part of: [Virginia SOL: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/va-sci.md)

Goal: Virginia Standards of Learning: Science, Grade 1

## 1. Earth Resources

- [Reducing Human Impact](https://ai.page/c/reducing-human-impact/index.md): Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment

## 2. Earth and Space Systems

- [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
- [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
- [Sunlight warms things up](https://ai.page/c/sunlight-warms-things-up/index.md): Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
- [Our Solar System](https://ai.page/c/our-solar-system/index.md): Know that there are other planets besides Earth and that our group of planets orbiting the Sun is called the solar system — and that space is the vast area beyond Earth's sky

## 3. Living Systems and Processes

- [Grouping Living Things](https://ai.page/c/grouping-living-things/index.md): Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features
- [Animal Body Groups](https://ai.page/c/animal-body-groups/index.md): Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)
- [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
- [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 Plants Need to Grow](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-grow/index.md): Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy
- [What Plants Need to Thrive](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-thrive/index.md): Explore and compare the requirements of plants for life and growth: air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow

## 4. Matter

- [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
- [Objects vs Materials](https://ai.page/c/objects-vs-materials/index.md): Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials

## 5. Force, Motion, and Energy

- [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
- [Pushes & Pulls](https://ai.page/c/pushes-and-pulls/index.md): Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions

## 6. Economics · The student will apply history and social science skills to explain how individuals make economic choices to meet their basic needs by

- [Choosing the Right Material](https://ai.page/c/choosing-the-right-material/index.md): Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes
