Earth and Space Science
- 1
The sun is the principal source of energy.1.ESS.1
- -
Recognize that it takes time for hot things to cool down.1.ESS.1.a
- -
Recognize that the longer something is in the sun the warmer it becomes (monitor air temperature morning, noon, afternoon on a sunny day or monitor the temperature of a glass of water in the sun).1.ESS.1.b
- -
Recognize that at night, it is dark and usually cooler because the sun is not visible.1.ESS.1.c
- -
Recognize that when the sun is visible, there is light and it is usually warmer than night.1.ESS.1.d
- -
Feel the sun on your face and describe the experience (warm).1.ESS.1.e
- -
- 2
Water on Earth is present in many forms.1.ESS.2
- -
Watch time lapse videos of how water changes the shape of the land (e.g., Grand Canyon, stream erosion) and describe the changes observed. 1.ESS.2.a
- -
Describe what happens to the dirt as rain falls on it (set up a mound of dirt and simulate rainfall or observe erosion in the schoolyard).1.ESS.2.b
- -
Watch water freeze and melt. Compare the physical properties before and after melting (e.g., temperature, weight, texture).1.ESS.2.c
- -
Identify places in nature where you can find solid (snowflakes, glaciers, hail) and liquid (rain, rivers) water.1.ESS.2.d
- -
Observe snowflakes under a magnifying glass and describe how their shapes vary1.ESS.2.e
- -
Identify various forms of water (snow, rain, sleet, fog, dew) in media.1.ESS.2.f
- -
Relate water to precipitation in weather (rain, snow, sleet).1.ESS.2.g
- -
Recognize that fog is a cloud close to the ground. 1.ESS.2.h
- -
Recognize that clouds are made of water.1.ESS.2.i
- -
Identify pictures of various locations of water (lakes, ponds, streams, oceans, dew on grass).1.ESS.2.j
- -
Life Science
- 1
Living things have basic needs, which are met by obtaining materials from the physical environment.1.LS.1
- -
Match organisms to environments that will meet their basic needs.1.LS.1.a
- -
Recognize that every living thing has basic needs (food/energy, water and temperature). 1.LS.1.b
- -
Recognize that plants and animals require water from the environment.1.LS.1.c
- -
Recognize that animals require certain temperatures to survive (e.g., have feathers/fur, can only live in certain climates, or need homes, nests or dens).1.LS.1.d
- -
Recognize that plants require certain temperatures to grow.1.LS.1.e
- -
Recognize that plants get energy from sunlight.1.LS.1.f
- -
Recognize that animals get energy from food.1.LS.1.g
- -
Name some examples of human basic needs (e.g., food, water, shelter).1.LS.1.h
- -
- 2
Living things survive only in environments that meet their needs.1.LS.2
- -
Recognize that seasonal changes in environments affect survival of living things (more living things die during winter when food and warmth are scarce). 1.LS.2.a
- -
Describe how seasonal changes affect living things (e.g., in winter trees lose leaves, birds fly south and some animals hibernate).1.LS.2.b
- -
Recognize that different environments support different living things.1.LS.2.c
- -
Describe differences in environments (e.g. desert is hot and dry, forest is shady and has rainfall).1.LS.2.d
- -
Describe how an environment can provide shelter and protection to living things (e.g., trees to build nests, places to hide from predators, shade from hot sun).1.LS.2.e
- -
Identify different types of shelter (e.g., nest, cave, den, burrow, house).1.LS.2.f
- -
Physical Science
- 1
Properties of objects and materials can change. 1.PS.1
- -
Design a way to keep your crayons from melting outside in the hot sun.1.PS.1.a
- -
Know that all things can melt but some need to be at higher temperatures than we have at a school (e.g., see what happens when you try to melt objects with higher melting points (metal, glass), watch a video of glass blowing or metal in a blast furnace.)1.PS.1.b
- -
Identify common substances that can melt at low temperatures (e.g., chocolate, butter, crayons).1.PS.1.c
- -
Identify how an object changes when it is melted and refrozen (e.g., put an ice cube in a baggie, let it melt, then refreeze it, describe ways the new ice is different from the original ice cube).1.PS.1.d
- -
Recognize that the mass of water before and after melting or freezing is the same.1.PS.1.e
- -
Predict what would be needed to turn the water back into ice.1.PS.1.f
- -
Predict ways to melt an ice cube more quickly (shine light on it, put it in the sun, heat it in a pan).1.PS.1.g
- -
Describe what happens to water when you add or subtract heat from it (temperature changes, freezes into ice).1.PS.1.h
- -
Describe how the properties of water change as it melts from ice to liquid water. 1.PS.1.i
- -
Identify whether a substance is a solid or a liquid.1.PS.1.j
- -
- 2
Objects can be moved in a variety of ways, such as straight, zigzag, circular and back and forth.1.PS.2
- -
Identify what is pushing or pulling on moving objects in the environment (leaves rustling, cars passing, a flag waving).1.PS.2.a
- -
Show a way to apply a force (push or pull) to make a moving object turn in a new direction (blow on a floating bubble, kick a rolling soccer ball).1.PS.2.b
- -
Identify a push or pull as a force.1.PS.2.c
- -
List as many ways as possible to push or pull (blowing, kicking, tugging on a rope).1.PS.2.d
- -
Describe what happens if you push or pull harder on an object.1.PS.2.e
- -
Describe what happens when you push or pull an object.1.PS.2.f

- -
Demonstrate, describe or identify different ways to move objects, such as straight, zigzag, in a circle.1.PS.2.h
- -
Recognize that moving things are changing their location (position).1.PS.2.i
- -
Categorize things as moving or standing still, discuss what is different about things that are moving and things that are standing still.1.PS.2.j
- -
Recognize that you cannot tell the location of something without comparing it to something else (in my backpack, behind the tree).1.PS.2.k
