Standards
Use observations or models of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Generate resourceObserve natural objects in the sky that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye and recognize that a telescope, used as a tool, can provide greater detail of objects in the sky.
Generate resourceMake observations to predict patterns between sunrise and sunset, and the change of seasons.
Generate resourceApply an engineering design approach to identify and solve practical problems.
Generate resourceAsk questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved.
Generate resourceDevelop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model that communicates solutions to others.
Generate resourceDevelop and use a model to explain the structure of plants (i.e., roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) and describe the function of the parts (taking in water and air, producing food, making new plants).
Generate resourceAnalyze and interpret data from observations to describe how plants respond to changes in the environment (e.g., turn leaves toward the sun).
Generate resourceConduct an experiment to show how plants depend on air, water, minerals from soil, and light to grow and thrive.
Generate resourceObtain and communicate information to classify plants by where they grow (i.e., water, land) and the plant’s physical characteristics.
Generate resourceDevelop and use models to show how plants and animals depend on their surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live.
Generate resourceMake observations to determine how sunlight warms Earth’s surfaces (i.e. sand, soil, rocks, and water).
Generate resourceMake observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects are visible when light shines on them or if they produce their own light (e.g., very hot objects), and that different amounts of light influence what we can see.
Generate resourceConduct an investigation to describe how the path of a beam of light can be changed by interactions with different materials (i.e. light passes through, some light passes through, light changes directions, or light is blocked which can cause shadows).
Generate resourceClassify and sort information into logical order with and/or without a computer.
Generate resourceUse observations or models of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Generate resourceObserve natural objects in the sky that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye and recognize that a telescope, used as a tool, can provide greater detail of objects in the sky.
Generate resourceAnalyze data to predict patterns between sunrise and sunset, and the change of seasons.
Generate resourceSolve scientific problems by asking testable questions, making short-term and long-term observations, and gathering information.
Generate resourceUse appropriate tools (magnifying glass, basic balance scale) to make observations and answer testable scientific questions.
Generate resourceNavigate to applications and documents by using desktop icons, windows, and menus (e.g., open and close the browser window, find/use bookmark to store the website, recognize and use app on tablet).
Generate resourceRecognize the structure of plants (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) and describe the function of the parts (taking in water and air, producing food, making new plants).
Generate resourceAnalyze and interpret data from observations to describe how changes in the environment cause plants to respond in different ways.
Generate resourceConduct an experiment to show how plants depend on air, water, minerals from soil, and light to grow and thrive.
Generate resourceObtain and communicate information to classify plants by where they grow (water, land) and the plant's physical characteristics.
Generate resourceRecognize how plants depend on their surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live.
Generate resourceAdvocate, demonstrate, and routinely practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology.
Generate resourceMake observations to determine how sunlight warms Earth's surfaces (sand, soil, rocks, and water).
Generate resourceUse a model to describe how light is required to make objects visible. Summarize how Illumination could be from an external light source or by an object giving off its own light.
Generate resourceDetermine the effect of placing objects made with different materials (transparent, translucent, opaque, and reflective) in the path of a beam of light.
