The Module Contents helps teachers identify the sequence of the three dimensions addressed in each module, and states how they build on each other. For example, in Grade 1 Module 1 Module Contents (TE pp. ii–iii):
● DQ1: Students review prior knowledge with a class read-aloud about living things, then sort cards into living and non-living things (DQ1L1 and DQ1L2). (K-LS1-1)
● DQ2: Students observe seedling roots, and learn about the different parts plants have through hands-on, video, close reading, and interactive investigations. They learn a song about plant parts, then write about what each part does. (CCC-1, CCC-6, LS1.1)
● DQ3: Students compare different seeds and gather information about how they disperse. Then they design, make and text a seed model that can be dispersed by wind.(LS1.A, CCC-6, SEP-2)
● DQ4: Students compare different plants, listing similarities and differences, through hands-on and video investigations. (LS1.A, 1-LS3-1)
● DQ5: Students investigate how different plants use their external structures for defense and protection. They use video and close readings to gather information. (LS1.A, SEP-2, CCC-6)
● DQ6: Students apply what they have learned so far in the module to design a solution to a human problem that mimics the structure of plants. (1-LS1-1, LS1.A, ETS1.A, ETS1.B, SEP-2, SEP-6, CCC-6)
● DQ7: The module culminates in the class preparing to present their museum rooms to the family and friends,
