Next Generation Science Standards:
Kindergarten
- 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.
First Grade
- 1-PS4-1 – Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
- 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 a distance.
- 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.
Second Grade
- 2-PSI-1 – Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
- 2-PSI-2 Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
- 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.
