Science.1.5.C

Previous Next
The student is expected to

describe the properties of objects in terms of relative size (scale) and relative quantity;

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.1.5.C — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

describe the properties of objects in terms of relative size (scale) and relative quantity;

S.1.5.C

describe the properties of objects in terms of relative size (scale) and relative quantity;

S.2.5.C

measure and describe the properties of objects in terms of size and quantity;

S.3.5.C

use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;

S.4.5.C

use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;

S.5.5.C
use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;
S.6.5.C
analyze how differences in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance;
S.7.5.C
analyze how differences in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance;

SCIENCE.1.5.C — 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
describe the properties of objects in terms of
relative quantity
relative size (scale)

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.
