Record observations of and describe basic life cycles of animals, including a bird, a mammal, and a fish.
Standard 1.13B in Science helps students understand Life cycles of animals and apply knowledge with confidence.
For Grade 1, this standard focuses on Life cycles of animals and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Standard 1.13B describes the essential skills and understandings for Life cycles of animals in Grade 1. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 1.13B.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 1.13B.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Life cycles of animals, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
