PS Physical Sciences

K-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.
K-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 Sciences

K-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & 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 Sciences

K-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.
K-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity
- K-ESS3-1 Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and 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 obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
- K-ESS3-3 Communicate solutions that will manage the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.

ETS Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

K-2-ETS1 Engineering Design
- K-2-ETS1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
- K-2-ETS1-2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
- K-2-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
