PS Physical Science

PS-1 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
- PS-1.1 With guidance and support, 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.
  - Push and pull (K-F.1)
  - Investigate pushes and pulls (K-F.2)
- PS-1.2 With guidance and support, analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the motion of an object with a push or a pull.
  - Design a race car track (K-O.1)
PS-2 Energy
- PS-2.1 Make observations to determine the effect of the Sun's energy on the Earth's surface.
  - Investigate sunlight and shade (K-M.2)
- PS-2.2 Design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of the Sun's energy on a material.
  - Design a sunshade (K-O.2)

LS Life Science

LS-1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
- LS-1.1 Use observations to describe how plants and animals are alike and different in terms of how they live and grow.
  - What do animals need to survive? (K-G.1)
  - What do plants need to survive? (K-H.1)

ESS Earth and Space Science

ESS-1 Earth's Systems
- ESS-1.1 Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe variations in patterns throughout the year.
  - Describe the weather (K-M.1)
  - Weather patterns (K-M.4)
- ESS-1.2 With guidance and support, use evidence to construct an explanation of how plants and animals interact with their environment to meet their needs.
  - How do living things change their environments to meet their needs? (K-J.1)
  - How do gray squirrels change the forest to meet their needs? (K-J.2)
ESS-2 Weather and Climate
- ESS-2.1 Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live.
- ESS-2.2 Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, local weather.
- ESS-2.3 Communicate ideas that would enable humans to interact in a beneficial way with the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.
  - Reduce, reuse, recycle (K-L.1)
