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.
ü
Pendulum swing (large scale pendulum in museum, small scale
in a school)
ü
Marble tracks
ü
Newton’s cradle
ü
Story Lab:
Mousetronaut (paper rockets)
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 pull.
ü
Marble track design
ü
Playzeum slides and
play balls (museum only)
K-PS3-1. Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s
surface.
ü
Set up experiment
to demonstrate effects of light and heat using lamp, and containers of water,
wet sand, mud.
ü
If weather and
conditions are right, take walk to explore and find examples (Smothers Park)
K-PS3-2. Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will
reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
ü
Students work
collaboratively in teams to design a structure for their car.
(could also be for min-beach)
K-LS1-1. Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals
(including humans) need to survive.
ü
Story Labs: Life in a Rotten Log, Diary of a Worm, Mossy
K-ESS2-1
K-ESS2-2. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals
(including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
ü
Presented with
pictures, students will state how the organism is changing the environment to
meet their needs. Given 2 to 3
pictures, student will select the picture where the organism is changing the
environment and explain why they chose the picture.
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.
ü
Create Biome boxes
(students will select from a variety of materials to create a biome)
K-ESS3-2
K-ESS3-3. Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the
land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.
ü
Earth day
activities
ü
Reduce Recycle
Reuse posters
First Grade
1-PS4 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies
for Information Transfer
1-PS4-1. Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating
materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
ü
Story lab: The
Remarkable Farkle McBride
ü
Sound lab using
tuning forks – watch sound move, make a clucking chicken cup and screaming
balloon
1-PS4-2. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects
can be seen only when illuminated.
ü Light lab, create blackout boxes with shoeboxes
1-PS4-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing
objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light
ü Light lab with transparent, translucent, opaque and reflective
materials
1-PS4-4. Use tools and materials to
design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of
communicating over distance.
ü Challenge lab. Students will be
given prompt and materials to use in solving problem.
