Academic Content Standards:These K-8 grade level indicators for Physical science & Science and Technology are parallel theOhio Achievement test.Kindergarten: 1. Explore that some materials can be used over and over again (e.g., plasticor glass containers, cardboard boxes and tubes).Grade One:Grade Two:1. Explore that some kinds of materials are better suited that other for makingsomething new (e.g., the building materials used in the three little pigs).2. Explain that when trying to build something or get something to workbetter, it helps to follow directions and ask someone who has done itbefore.6. Investigate that tools are used to help make things and some things cannotbe made without tools.7. Explore that several steps are usually needed to make things (e.g., buildingwith blocks).8. Investigate that when parts are put together they can do things that theycould not do by themselves (e.g., Blocks gears and wheels).3. Predict how building or trying something new might affect other people andthe environment.4. Communicate orally, pictorially, or in written form the design process usedto make something.Grade Three: 4. Use a simple design process to solve a problem (e.g., identifies a problem,identify possible solutions and design a solution).Grade Four:Grade Five:Grade six:1. Explain how technology from different areas (e.g., transportation,communication, nutrition, healthcare, agriculture, entertainment andmanufacturing) had improved human lives.2. Investigate how technology and inventions change to meet people’sneeds and wants.3. Describe, illustrate, and evaluate the design process used to solve aproblem.2. Revise an existing design used to solve a problem based on peer review.3. Explain how the solution to one problem may create other problems.4. Explain how the usefulness of manufactured parts of an object depends onhow well their properties allow them to fit and interact with other material.5. Design and build a product or create a solution to a problem given oneconstraint (e.g., limits of cost and time for design and production, supply ofmaterials and environmental effects).Grade Seven: 4. Design and build a product or create a solution to a problem given twoconstraint (e.g., limits of cost and time for design and production, supply ofmaterials and environmental effects).2
Grade Eight:Grade Nine:Grade Ten:Grade Eleven:Grade Twelve:3. Design and build a product or create a solution to a problem given twoconstraint (e.g., limits of cost and time for design and production, supplyof materials and environmental effects).4. Evaluate the overall effectiveness of a product design or solution.2. Identify a problem or need, propose design and choose among alternativesolutions for the problem.3. Explain why a design should be continually assessed and the ideas of the3. Design should be tested, adapted, and refined.Explain that when evaluating a design for a device or process, thoughtshould be given to how it will be manufactured, operated, maintained,replaced and disposed of in addition to who will sell, operate and take careof it. Explain hoe the costs associated with these considerations mayintroduce additional constraints on the design.No Indicators present in this grade for Life science standardsNo Indicators present in this grade for Life science standards3
