| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SC.O.1.1.03 | changes in the environment: life cycles, motion of celestial objects, or sun and shadow |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.02 | identify that most living things need water, food, light and air. |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.03 | describe changes in life cycle of living organisms. |
| 1 | SC.O.1.2.05 | depict movement of living things in air, water and on land. (e.g., birds flying, fish swimming, or worms burrowing in soil). |
| 2 | SC.O.2.1.03 | identify and discuss science careers in the community. |
| 2 | SC.O.2.2.01 | identify that plants and animals have different structures. |
