Science
K.6 The student will investigate and
understand basic needs and life processes of plants
and
animals. Key concepts

(go through a life cycle); and
- offspring of plants and animals
are similar but not identical to their parents and one
another.
SCI.K.8 The student will investigate
and understand simple patterns in his/her daily life. Key
concepts
include
- weather observations;

common natural objects including seeds, cones, and
leaves;
- animal and plant growth;
and
- home and school
routines.
SCI.K.9 The student will investigate
and understand that change occurs over time, and rates may
be

that living things change as they grow and
develop
1.1 The student will plan and conduct
investigations in which
- differences in physical properties
are observed using the senses and

observations (magnifying glass);
- objects or events are classified
and arranged according to attributes or
- properties;
- observations and data are
communicated orally and with simple graphs,
- pictures, written statements, and
numbers;
- length, mass, and volume are
measured using standard and nonstandard
- units;
- inferences are made and
conclusions are drawn about familiar objects
- and events;

of observation rather than random
- guesses; and

to answer questions.
1.4 The student will investigate and
understand that plants have life needs and functional
parts
and can be classified according to

leaves, blossom, fruit); and

flowering/nonflowering, evergreen/deciduous.
1.7 The student will investigate and
understand the relationship of seasonal change and
weather
to the activities and life processes

migration, body covering, habitat); and
- people (dress, recreation,
work).
