STEMulating Design Challenges in Science
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
for Science Connections
English Language Proficiency Standards
(ELPS)
2(I) Cross-curricular second language acquisition/listening. The student is expected to demonstrate listening comprehension of increasingly complex spoken English by following directions, retelling or summarizing spoken messages, responding to questions and requests, collaborating with peers, and taking notes commensurate with content and grade-level needs.
Science Concepts
1(9) Organisms and environments. The student knows that the living environment is composed of relationships between organisms and the life cycles that occur.
(B) The student is expected to analyze and record
examples of interdependence found in various situations
such as terrariums and aquariums or pet and caregiver;
and
(C) The student is expected to gather evidence of
interdependence among living organisms such as energy
transfer through food chains or animals using plants for
shelter.
Science Process Skills
1(2) Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities to ask questions and seek answers in classroom and outdoor investigations.
(A) The student is expected to ask questions about
organisms, objects, and events observed in the natural
world.
(C) The student is expected to collect data and make
observations using simple tools.
1(3) Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student knows that information and critical thinking are used in scientific problem solving.
(A) The student is expected to identify and explain a problem and propose a solution.
