1st Grade (SCI) Science Standards [ESS1] Earth's Place in the Universe
SCI-01.ESS1.01 Describe patterns that can be predicted through observations of the sun,
moon, and stars.
Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include that the sun and moon appear to rise in one part of the sky, move
across the sky, and set; and stars other than our sun are visible at night but not during the day. Disciplinary Core Ideas ESS1.A: The Universe and its Stars
