Science Lesson State Standards State ID Grades Performance Expectation
Materials and Light UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 1.3.3 [{id=111674358580, createdAt=1681899818338, updatedAt=1681899820544, 1='{type=string, value=1}'}] 1

Plan and carry out an investigation to determine the effect of materials in the path of a beam of light. Emphasize that light can travel through some materials, can be reflected off some materials, and some materials block light causing shadows.

Engineering Communication Devices UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 1.3.4 [{id=111674358580, createdAt=1681899818338, updatedAt=1681899820544, 1='{type=string, value=1}'}] 1 Design a device in which the structure of the device uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. Define the problem by asking questions and gathering information, convey designs through sketches, drawings, or physical models, and compare and test designs.
Mapping Land and Water UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 2.1.1 [{id=111674358581, createdAt=1681899819948, updatedAt=1681899821915, 1='{type=string, value=2}'}] 2

Develop and use models illustrating the patterns of landforms and water on Earth.

Design solutions to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of land. Define the problem by asking questions and gathering information, convey designs through sketches, drawings, or physical models, and compare and test designs.

Habitats UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 2.2.1 [{id=111674358581, createdAt=1681899819948, updatedAt=1681899821915, 1='{type=string, value=2}'}] 2

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns of living things (plants and animals, including humans) in different habitats. Emphasize the diversity of living things in land and water habitats.

Engineering Owl Shelters UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 2.2.2 [{id=111674358581, createdAt=1681899819948, updatedAt=1681899821915, 1='{type=string, value=2}'}] 2

Plan and carry out an investigation of the structure and function of plant and animal parts in different habitats. Emphasize how different plants and animals have different structures to survive in their habitat.

How Plants Grow UT Utah Science With Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards 2.2.2 [{id=111674358581, createdAt=1681899819948, updatedAt=1681899821915, 1='{type=string, value=2}'}] 2
