ELO-1
Sound and VibrationsPlan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. Students explore how sounds are produced, classify sounds by loudness, and investigate the effects of sounds on objects. They learn that sound is a wave and understand the role of vibrations in creating sound.
Students will:
Students will demonstrate understanding of how to produce sounds, compare and describe sounds as loud, soft, pleasant, or unpleasant, and discuss the effects and uses of sounds in daily life.
Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge
- SC_G1_ST1_1_K_001: Define the terms: Sounds, vibrate, waves, loud, Soft, Sign language

- SC_G1_ST1_1_AV_005: Develop an awareness that loud sounds (noise pollution) affect people and animals e.g., loud music, machinery, firecrackers, and airplanes.
ELO-2
Light and CommunicationUse tools and materials to design and build devices that use light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. Students explore how light and sound can travel over distances and identify simple communication devices. They design, build, test, and evaluate communication devices while understanding how people use light and sound to communicate.
Students will:
Students will identify and describe simple communication devices, design and build a device that uses light or sound to communicate, and describe ways people use devices that utilize light and sound for communication.
Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge
- SC_G1_ST1_2_K_001: Define the terms: light/darkness, Artificial, Natural, Reflect
