1st Grade Science Scope, Sequence, & Resources |
In Grade 1, the study of science includes simple classroom and field investigations. As students learn science skills, they identify components of the natural world including rocks, soil, and natural resources. Students observe that heat from the Sun is an example of something that causes change. In addition, students identify basic needs of living things, explore ways that living things depend on each other, and separate living organisms and nonliving things into groups. Students identify parts that can be put together with other parts to do new things. Students should understand a whole in terms of its components and how these components relate to each other and to the whole. The unifying concepts are continuing threads that tie all of science together and should be emphasized in all units of instruction. The Nature of Science contains the process TEKS (1.1-1.4), all of which must be addressed, maintained, and reinforced throughout the year in all units of study.
