Science.2.1.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.”

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

Math.2.1.E create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas

Math.2.6.A model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations in which equivalent sets of concrete objects are joined

Math.2.6.B model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets

Social Studies

SS.2.17.B use problem-solving and decision-making processes to identify a problem, gather information, list and consider options, consider advantages and disadvantages, choose and implement a solution, and evaluate the effectiveness of the solution

English Language Arts and Reading

ELAR.2.6.D create mental images to deepen understanding

Technology Applications

TA.2.3.B apply a design process with components such as testing and reflecting to create new and useful solutions to identify and solve for authentic problems

TA.2.6.A use a digital tool to individually or collaboratively create and communicate data visualizations such as pictographs and bar graphs

TA.2.10.A select and use a variety of applications, devices, and online learning environments to create and share content
