animals.

PROFICIENCY STATEMENT K.4.2. Diversity of Life: Observe plants and animals, describing how they are alike and how they are different in the way they look and in the things they do.

STANDARD IN.K.6. Common Themes: Students begin to understand how things are similar and how they are different. They look for ways to distinguish between different objects by observation.

PROFICIENCY STATEMENT K.6.1. Models and Scale: Describe an object by saying how it is similar to or different from another object.

Grade: 1 - Adopted 2006

STANDARD IN.1.1. The Nature of Science and Technology: Students are actively engaged in exploring how the world works. They explore, observe, count, collect, measure,

compare, and ask questions. They discuss observations and use tools to seek answers and solve problems.

They share their findings.

PROFICIENCY STATEMENT 1.1.1. Scientific Inquiry: Observe, describe, draw, and sort objects carefully to learn about them.

PROFICIENCY STATEMENT 1.1.2. Scientific Inquiry: Investigate and make observations to seek answers to questions about the world, such as 'In what ways do animals move?'

PROFICIENCY STATEMENT 1.1.3. The Scientific Enterprise: Recognize that and

demonstrate how people can learn much about plants and animals by observing them closely over a period of time. Recognize also that care must be taken to know the needs of living things and how to provide for them.
