PS Physical Science

• 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.2)

• K-PS3 Energy

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

    • Design a sunshade (K-O.2)

ESS Earth and Space Science

• 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.

    • What do animals need to survive? (K-G.1)
    • Where do dromedary camels and polar bears live? (K-G.4)
