Science Curriculum
1st Grade
|
Course Purpose: |
First Grade students will characterize and describe the relationship between structure and function. |
Outcomes and Components:
| SC.1.3 | Students will verify that light travels from place to place and a beam of light can be obstructed by placing items in its path in order to design and build a device that uses light to solve problems. Students will make predictions for results of obstructions and evaluate the effects. | ||
