| 1 | SC-1.316 | sort and group solids based on physical properties such as color, shape, ability to roll or stack, hardness, magnetic attraction, or whether they sink or float in water. |
| 2 | SC-2.314 | observe the life cycle of a selected organism (e.g., plant, butterfly, frog, etc.) and recognize that the phases of the life cycle are predictable and describable. |
