Our science units are based off of the Michigan Next Generation Science Standards
Waves: Light and Sound1-PS4-1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materialscan make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.1-PS4-2 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects canbe seen only when illuminated.1-PS4-3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objectsmade with different materials in the path of a beam of light.1-PS4-4 Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or soundto solve the problem of communicating over a distance.*Structure, Function, and Information Processing1-LS1-1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking howplants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow,and meet their needs. *1-LS1-2 Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents andoffspring that help offspring survive.1-LS3-1 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that youngplants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.Space Systems: Patterns and Cycles1-ESS1-1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that canbe predicted.1-ESS1-2 Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount ofdaylight to the time of year. **Engineering DesignK-2-ETS1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situationpeople want to change to define a simple problem that can be solvedthrough 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 theshape 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 problemto compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
