Grade One
• Classify objects according to their physical properties.
• Explore that organisms have basic needs which include air, water, food, living space and shelter.
• Investigate that animals eat plants and/or other animals for food and may also use plants or other animals for shelter and nesting.

•Classify animals according to their characteristics (e.g., body coverings and body structure).
•Discuss observations and measurements made by other people.
•Compare the life cycles of different animals including birth to adulthood, reproduction and death (e.g., egg-tadpole-frog).
