1 Physical Science

• Observe and describe that the properties of materials can change, but not all materials respond in the same way to the same action.

  • 2.1.1 Observe, describe and measure ways in which the properties of a sample of water (including volume) change or stay the same as the water is heated and cooled and then transformed into different states.

    • Change-of-state diagrams: solid and liquid (2-C.2)
    • Change-of-state diagrams: liquid and gas (2-C.3)
    • Change-of-state diagrams: solid, liquid, and gas (2-C.4)
    • Heating, cooling, and changes of state: melting and freezing (2-C.5)
    • Heating, cooling, and changes of state: evaporating and condensing (2-C.6)

  • 2.1.2 Predict the result of combining solids and liquids in pairs. Mix; observe, gather, record and discuss evidence of whether the result may have different properties than the original materials.

    • Predict heat flow (2-D.1)
    • Identify physical and chemical changes (2-E.1)
    • Identify mixtures (2-F.1)

  • 2.1.3 Predict and experiment with methods (e.g. sieving, evaporation) to separate solids and liquids based on their physical properties.

• Observe and describe the motion of an object and how it changes when a force is applied to it.

  • 2.1.4 Observe, sketch, demonstrate and compare how objects can move in different ways (e.g., straight, zig-zag, back-and-forth, rolling, fast and slow).

  • 2.1.5 Describe the position or motion of an object relative to a point of reference (e.g., background, another object).

  • 2.1.6 Observe, demonstrate, sketch and compare how applied force (i.e., push or pull) changes the motion of objects.

    • How do mass and force affect motion? (2-G.2)

  • 2.1.7 Investigate the motion of objects when they are acted upon at a distance by forces like gravity and magnetism.

2 Earth Science

• Day to day and over the seasons, observe, measure, record and recognize patterns and ask questions about features of weather.

  • 2.2.1 Construct and use tools to observe and measure weather phenomena like precipitation, changes in temperature, wind speed and direction.

    • Read a thermometer (2-P.6)
    • Compare temperatures on thermometers (2-P.7)

  • 2.2.2 Experience and describe wind as the motion of the air.

  • 2.2.3 Chart or graph weather observations such as cloud cover, cloud type and type of precipitation on a daily basis over a period of weeks.

  • 2.2.4 Ask questions about charted observations and graphed data. Identify the day-to-day patterns and cycles of weather. Understand seasonal time scales in terms of temperature and amounts of rainfall and snowfall.

    • Collect and graph temperature data (3-T.3)

  • 2.2.5 Ask questions and design class investigations on the effect of the sun heating the surface of the earth.

  • 2.2.6 Learn about, report on and practice severe weather safety procedures.

• Investigate how the position of the sun and moon and the shape of the moon change in observable patterns.

  • 2.2.7 Investigate how the sun appears to move through the sky during the day by observing and drawing the length and direction of shadows.

  • 2.2.8 Investigate how the moon appears to move through the sky during the day by observing and drawing its location at different times.

  • 2.2.9 Investigate how the shape of the moon changes from day to day in a repeating cycle that lasts about a month.

3 Life Science

• Observe, ask questions about and describe how organisms change their forms and behaviors during their life cycles.

  • 2.3.1 Observe closely over a period of time and then record in pictures and words the changes in plants and animals throughout their life cycles-including details of their body plan, structure and timing of growth, reproduction and death.

    • Read animal life cycle diagrams (2-J.1)
    • Construct animal life cycle diagrams (2-J.2)
    • Read and construct flowering plant life cycle diagrams (2-K.3)

  • 2.3.2 Compare and contrast details of body plans and structures within the life cycles of plants and animals.

    • Classify fruits and vegetables as plant parts (2-K.1)
    • Identify plant parts and their functions (2-K.2)
    • Compare stages of an animal's life cycle (3-L.3)

4 Science, Engineering and Technology

• Describe how technologies have been developed to meet human needs.

  • 2.4.1 Identify parts of the human body that can be used as tools—like hands for grasping and teeth for cutting and chewing.

  • 2.4.2 Identify technologies developed by humans to meet human needs. Investigate the limitations of technologies and how they have improved quality of life.

  • 2.4.3 Identify a need and design a simple tool to meet that need.
