K.1 Weather Patterns

K.1.1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about local, observable weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
- Describe the weather (K-M.1)
- Weather patterns (K-M.4)
K.1.2 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on the effect of forecasted weather patterns on human behavior.
K.1.3 Carry out an investigation using the five senses, to determine the effect of sunlight on different surfaces and materials.
- Investigate sunlight and shade (K-M.2)
K.1.4 Design a solution that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
- Design a sunshade (K-O.2)

K.2 Living Things and Their Surroundings

K.2.1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe patterns of what living things (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)
K.2.2 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns in the relationships between the needs of different living things (plants and animals, including humans) and the places they live.
K.2.3 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how living things (plants and animals, including humans) affect their surroundings to survive.
- How do living things change their environments to meet their needs? (K-J.1)

K.2.4 Design and communicate a solution to address the effects that living things (plants and animals, including humans) experience while trying to survive in their surroundings.
- Reduce, reuse, recycle (K-L.1)

K.3 Forces, Motion, and Interactions

K.3.1 Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of forces on the motion of an object.
- Push and pull (K-F.1)
- Investigate pushes and pulls (K-F.2)
K.3.2 Analyze data to determine how a design solution causes a change in the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
- Design a race car track (K-O.1)
