No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 1.PS.4.1
    Demonstrate that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. Clarification Statements: Examples of vibrating materials that make sound could include tuning forks, a stretched string or rubber band, and a drum head; Examples of how sound can make materials vibrate could include holding a piece of paper near a speaker making sound and holding an object near a vibrating tuning fork.
  • 1.PS.4.4
    Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to send a signal over a distance.* Clarification Statements: Examples of devices could include a light source to send signals, paper cup and string “telephones,” and a pattern of drum beats; Technological details for how communication devices work are not expected.

Same Level Standards:

  • SL.PK.1
    Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners during daily routines and play.
  • SL.PK.5
    Create representations of experiences or stories (e.g., drawings, constructions with blocks or other materials, clay models) and explain them to others.
  • PK.MD.A.2
    Compare the attributes of length and weight for two objects, including longer/shorter, same length; heavier/lighter, same weight; holds more/less, holds the same amount.
  • PreK.LS.1.3
    Use their five senses in their exploration and play to gather information.
  • PreK.PS.1.3
    Differentiate between the properties of an object and those of the material of which it is made.
