First Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

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 (1-LS1-1).

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 (1-LS1-1).

Performance Expectation:

1-LS1-1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants andor animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - Plants depend on water and light to grow (2-LS2-1).

Performance Expectation:

2-LS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
