Energy
Children explore the movement of objects, humans, and other animals.
*Measuring Motion (observe and describe how animals move)
Earth Systems
Children examine and describe surrounding environments.
*Honeybee Hive (examine honeybee behaviour, the hive and bee's role in the environment)
*Coastal Winds and Clouds - Metric (observe daily weather changes and effects on wind and clouds)
*Comparing Climates (metric) - (observe and notice how environments change over time)
*Measuring Trees (observe and notice how trees change over time)
Computer Science
Children interpret instructions in various environments.
*Honeybee Hive (interpret instructions in the bee waggle dance; see the task card)
Grade 1
Grade 1
*These are additional Gizmos from ExploreLearning, for whole group instruction with customization of lesson materials. Teachers should use their professional discretion in the review and incorporation of any supplementary resources in their teaching.
Energy
Students investigate the direction, pathway, and speed of moving objects and animals.
*Measuring Motion (compare the speed of different animals, discuss how animals move differently)
Earth Systems
Students analyze environments and investigate interactions and changes.
*Comparing Climates (metric) (observe seasonal changes in different locations)
Living Systems
Students investigate and examine the needs of plants and animals.
*Honeybee Hive (discuss the needs of plants and the roles of bees in ecosystems)
*Comparing Climates (metric) (compare living things in one location in January and June, see task card)
Scientific Methods
Students engage in and describe investigation.
*Measuring Trees (count trees, drag ruler to measure tree heights and diameter, see how trees grow over time)
*Measuring Motion (investigate motion of different animals)
Grade 2
Grade 2
*These are additional Gizmos from ExploreLearning, for whole group instruction with customization of lesson materials. Teachers should use their professional discretion in the review and incorporation of any supplementary resources in their teaching.
Earth Systems
Students investigate Earth, its landforms, its bodies of water and its relationship to the Sun.
*Seasons: Earth, Sun and Moon(Use as model - 2D view, show day and night; observe earth's rotation on axis and motion around sun)
Living Systems
Students investigate the growth and development of plants and animals and consider their relationship to humans.
*Honeybee Hive (explore the roles of bees, discuss the relationship of bees and humans)
*Prairie Ecosystems (simplify, discuss factors that can cause changes in the growth of each species)
Scientific Methods
Students examine investigation and explain how it is influenced by purpose.
*Growing Plants Updated (procedures are carried out for a purpose, vary factors to determine which factors affect plant growth)
*Germination (procedures are carried out for a purpose, vary factors to determine which factors affect seed germination)
*Forest Ecosystem (increase one species, predict what will happen in the forest over time)
*Measuring Trees (count trees, drag ruler to measure tree heights and diameter, compare data to see how trees grow over time)
