Investigate and predict cause‑and‑effect relationships in science.
For Grade 1, this standard focuses on Cause & effect and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
TEKS 1.5B provides a clear foundation for continued study of Cause & effect in future grades.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 1.5B.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Cause & effect, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 1.5B.
Standard 1.5B describes the essential skills and understandings for Cause & effect in Grade 1. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
