PS Physical Science

• PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and interactions

  • 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.

    • Push and pull (K-F.1)
    • Investigate pushes and pulls (K-F.)

  • 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.

• PS3 Energy

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

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

LS Life Science

• LS1 Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

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

    • What do animals need to survive? (K-G.1)
    • What do plants need to survive? (K-H.1)

ESS Earth and Space Science

• ESS2 Earth's Systems

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

    • Describe the weather (K-M.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.

• ESS3 Earth and Human Activity

  • 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.

    • Where do dromedary camels and polar bears live? (K-G.3)
    • Where do water lilies and saguaros live? (K-H.5)

  • K-ESS3-2 Ask questions to understand the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for and respond to severe weather.

  • K-ESS3-3 Obtain and communicate information to define problems related to human impact on the local environment.
