Forces and Interactions: Pushes and Pulls

  • K-PS2-1.

    Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.K-PS2-1

  • K-PS2-2.

    Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.K-PS2-2

Weather and Climate

  • K-PS3-1.

    Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface.K-PS3-1

  • K-PS3-2.

    Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.K-PS3-2

  • K-ESS2-1.

    Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.K-ESS2-1

  • K-ESS3-2.

    Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.K-ESS3-2

Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Animals, Plants, and Their Environment

  • K-LS1-1.

    Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.K-LS1-1

  • K-ESS2-2.

    Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.K-ESS2-2

  • K-ESS3-1.

    Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.K-ESS3-1

  • K-ESS3-3.

    Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.K-ESS3-3

Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

  • K-ETS1-1.

    Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.K-ETS1-1

  • K-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.K-ETS1-2

  • K-ETS1-3.

    Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.K-ETS1-3
