K-2-ETS1-2   Engineering Design

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

Modeling in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to include using and developing models (i.e., diagram, drawing, physical replica, diorama, dramatization, or storyboard) that represent concrete events or design solutions.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions

Crosscutting Concepts

Structure and Function

Connections to K-2-ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions to Problems include:

Kindergarten: K-ESS3-3, First Grade: 1-PS4-4, Second Grade: 2-LS2-2

Articulation of DCIs across grade-levels:

3-5.ETS1.A ; 3-5.ETS1.B ; 3-5.ETS1.C

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy —
SL.2.5 Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings. (K-2-ETS1-2)
