Science.1.1.G

Previous Next
The student is expected to

develop and use models to represent phenomena, objects, and processes or design a prototype for a solution to a problem.

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

SCIENCE.1.1.G — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
develop models to represent
objects or design a prototype for a solution to a problem
phenomena or design a prototype for a solution to a problem
processes or design a prototype for a solution to a problem
use models to represent
objects or design a prototype for a solution to a problem
phenomena or design a prototype for a solution to a problem
processes or design a prototype for a solution to a problem

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
Expand All
Math

Math.1.1.D communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate

Math.1.3.A use concrete and pictorial models to determine the sum of a multiple of 10 and a one-digit number in problems up to 99

Math.1.3.B  use objects and pictorial models to solve word problems involving joining, separating, and comparing sets within 20 and unknowns as any one of the terms in the problem such as 2 + 4 = [ ]; 3 + [ ] = 7; and 5 = [ ] - 3

Social Studies

SS.1.17.D  create and interpret visual and written material

SS.1.18.A use democratic procedures to collaborate with others when making decisions on issues in the classroom, school, or community

English Language Arts and Reading

ELAR.1.6.D create mental images to deepen understanding with adult assistance

ELAR.1.7.E  interact with sources in meaningful ways such as illustrating or writing

Technology Applications

TA.1.3.B use a design process with components such as asking questions, brainstorming, or storyboarding to identify and solve authentic problems with adult assistance

TA.1.9.A select and use a variety of applications, devices, and online learning environments to create an original product
