Included below are California (K - 3) standards that can
be met by participating in this project. Please adapt the
standards to your personal teaching needs as necessary.
If I have missed a standard which you feel is covered, please
let me know.
However, I will not be posting state by state standards.

Standards |
| Kindergarten |
| Math (Statistics) |
1.0
Students collect information about objects and events
in their environment:
1.1 Pose information questions; collect data; and record
the results using objects, pictures, and picture graphs. |
| Language Arts (Writing) |
1.0 Writing
Strategies
Students write words and brief sentences that are legible.
Organization and Focus
1.1 Use letters and phonetically spelled words to write
about experiences, stories, people, objects, or events. |
| Science (Investigation & Experimentation) |
4. Scientific
progress is made by asking meaningful questions and
conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding
this concept and addressing the content in the other
three strands, students should develop their own questions
and perform investigations. Students will:
a. Observe common objects by using the five senses. |
| First Grade |
| Math (Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability) |
1.0 Students organize,
represent, and compare data by category on simple graphs
and charts:
1.1 Sort objects and data by common attributes and describe
the categories.
1.2 Represent and compare data (e.g., largest, smallest,
most often, least often) by using pictures, bar graphs,
tally charts, and picture graphs |
| Language Arts (Writing) |
1.0
Writing Strategies
Students write clear and coherent sentences and paragraphs
that develop a central idea. Their writing shows they
consider the audience and purpose. Students progress
through the stages of the writing process (e.g., prewriting,
drafting, revising, editing successive versions). |
| Science (Investigation & Experimentation) |
4.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions
and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for
understanding this concept and addressing the content
in the other three strands, students should develop
their own questions and perform investigations. Students
will:
a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing
being described.
b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers,
or written statements.
c. Record observations on a bar graph. |
| Second Grade |
| Math (Mathematical Reasoning) |
2.0
Students solve problems and justify their reasoning:
2.1 Defend the reasoning used and justify the procedures
selected.
2.2 Make precise calculations and check the validity
of the results in the context of the problem. |
| Language Arts (Writing Applications) |
| Students
write compositions that describe and explain familiar
objects, events, and experiences. Student writing demonstrates
a command of standard American English and the drafting,
research, and organizational strategies outlined in
Writing Standard 1.0. |
| Science (Investigation & Experimentation) |
4.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions
and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for
understanding this concept and addressing the content
in the other three strands, students should develop
their own questions and perform investigations. Students
will:
b. Measure length, weight, temperature, and liquid volume
with appropriate tools and express those measurements
in standard metric system units |
| Third Grade |
| Math (Algebra and Functions) |
1.0
Students select appropriate symbols, operations, and
properties to represent, describe, simplify, and solve
simple number relationships:
1.1 Represent relationships of quantities in the form
of mathematical expressions, equations, or inequalities.
1.2 Solve problems involving numeric equations or inequalities. |
| Language Arts (Writing Applications) |
Students
write compositions that describe and explain familiar
objects, events, and experiences. Student writing demonstrates
a command of standard American English and the drafting,
research, and organizational strategies outlined in
Writing Standard 1.0.
2.2 Write descriptions that use concrete sensory details
to present and support unified impressions of people,
places, things, or experiences. |
| Science (Investigation & Experimentation) |
5.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions
and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for
understanding this concept and addressing the content
in the other three strands, students should develop
their own questions and perform investigations. Students
will:
c. Use numerical data in describing and comparing objects,
events, and measurements.
d. Predict the outcome of a simple investigation and
compare the result with the prediction.
e. Collect data in an investigation and analyze those
data to develop a logical conclusion. |
