Title: 1st Grade Science Standards Glossary
Course: BPSS (SCI) Science Standards > Section: Shared Workspace > Forum: Science Standards Discussions ...

The 1st Grade Science Standards Glossary has been updated to the ND Science Content Standards MAY 2018 1st Draft for Public Release. No major changes except for verbiage changes (noted in comments) to 4 standards listed below:

- SCI-01.PS4.04
NEW Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
OLD Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
- SCI-01.LS1.01
NEW Create a model to label the parts of a plant or an animal that enables them to survive, grow, and meet their needs in their habitat; construct an argument with evidence.
OLD Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
- SCI-01.LS3.01
NEW Construct an evidence-based account, through observation, that young plants and animals are alike, but not exactly like, their parents..
OLD Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
- SCI-01.ESS1.01
NEW Describe patterns that can be predicted through observations of the sun, moon, and stars.
OLD Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

Other changes is updating the glossaries proficiency scales from a table to a responsive grid to be accessibility compliant. Plus the new format also matches the new Visual Progress Report going from left to right.

The BPS District Science Standards Book will be updated later once all the glossaries are completed.

The state released the ND Science Standards Second Draft , which had some minor changes/corrections

Below is a list of those edits done in 1st Grade Science Standards Glossary:

Second Draft Edits
Standard/Edit | 1st Draft | 2nd Draft
SCI-01.PS4.01 VERBIAGE Change | Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. | Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that sound can make materials vibrate and that vibrating materials can make sound.
SCI-01.LS1.01 VERBIAGE Change | Create a model to label the parts of a plant or an animal that enables them to survive, grow, and meet their needs in their habitat; construct an argument with evidence. | Construct an evidence-based argument with the use of a drawing or a model that illustrates how structures of plants or animals help them survive in their habitat

Overview of all the changes with the 1st Grade Science Standards. Bismarck has been using the NGSS for two years in anticipation of the state adopting these as the new science standards. Of the 291 overall standards the state keep 223 the same, while making verbiage changes to 55. Plus the state dropped 7 standards while adding 6 new standards.

For 1st Grade Science those were 8 the same with 6 verbiage changes.

Below is a table showing the all the standards: So if you click on the Identifiers in the first column of the chart below, the Standards Glossary Term will display in a pop-up. The last column will list the type of change to the standard. You will notice a change to the Proficiency Scales to be a colored responsive grid that corresponds with the new Visual Graphics Standards Progress Report that uses dots with a target range. So there may need to be discussions on how those could populated with your new scales.
