3.3 identify the location and function of major parts of the human body, including sense organs (e.g., lungs are in my chest and are used for

breathing; teeth are in my mouth and are used for eating; hair is on my head for protection from the cold; ears are on the sides of my head

and are used for hearing)

3.4 describe the characteristics of a healthy environment, including clean air and water and nutritious food, and explain why it is important

for all living things to have a healthy environment

3.5 describe how showing care and respect for all living things helps to maintain a healthy environment (e.g., leaving all living things in their

natural environment; feeding birds during cold winter months; helping to plant and care for plants in the gardens that attract birds and

butterflies; caring for the school and the schoolyard as an environment)

3.6 identify what living things provide for other living things (e.g., trees produce the oxygen that other living things breathe; plants such as

tomatoes and apple trees and animals such as cows and fish provide food for humans and for other animals; a tree stump provides a home

for a chipmunk; porcupines chew off the tips of hemlock limbs, providing food for deer in winter)

3.7 describe how the things plants and animals use to meet their needs are changed by their use and are returned to the environment in

different forms (e.g., the food animals eat and the water they drink are returned to the earth as scat and urine)

GRADE 1 | UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURES AND MECHANISMS

MATERIALS, OBJECTS, AND EVERYDAY STRUCTURES

OVERALL EXPECTATIONS

By the end of Grade 1, students will:

1. assess the impact on people and the environment of objects and structures and the materials used in them;

2. investigate structures that are built for a specific purpose to see how their design and materials suit the purpose;

3. demonstrate an understanding that objects and structures have observable characteristics and are made from materials with specific

properties that determine how they are used.

SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS

By the end of Grade 1, students will:

1. Relating Science and Technology to Society and the Environment

1.1 identify the kinds of waste produced in the classroom, and plan and carry out a classroom course of action for minimizing waste,

explaining why each action is important

1.2 assess objects in their environment that are constructed for similar purposes (e.g., chairs at home and at school; different kinds of shoes;

different kinds of floor coverings) in terms of the type of materials they are made from, the source of these materials, and what happens to

these objects when they are worn out or no longer needed

2. Developing Investigation and Communication Skills

By the end of Grade 1, students will:

2.1 follow established safety procedures during science and technology investigations (e.g., wear safety goggles when using saws and

hammers)

2.2 investigate characteristics of various objects and structures, using their senses

2.3 investigate, through experimentation, the properties of various materials (e.g., the best materials for absorbing or repelling water, for

flexibility, for strength: the flexibility of plastic makes plastic wrap useful for covering food in order to keep it fresh; the impermeability of

rubber enables rubber boots to keep feet dry)

2.4 use technological problem-solving skills (see page 16), and knowledge acquired from previous investigations, to design, build, and test a

structure for a specific purpose (e.g., a tent, a model of a swing set or other playground equipment, a bird feeder, a wigwam for people who

need to move throughout the year)

2.5 use appropriate science and technology vocabulary, including experiment, explore, purpose, rigid, flexible, solid, and smooth, in oral and

written communication

2.6 use a variety of forms (e.g., oral, written, graphic, multimedia) to communicate with different audiences and for a variety of purposes

(e.g., orally explain their choices of materials and design decisions when presenting their structures)

3. Understanding Basic Concepts

By the end of Grade 1, students will:

3.1 describe objects as things that are made of one or more materials

3.2 describe structures as supporting frameworks

3.3 describe materials as the substances from which something is made
