Course Description
In science, Kindergarten students use their senses to make observations of the characteristics and interactions of objects in their world.
Students study the characteristics of:
water and the basic needs of living things
weather with the changing of seasons
forces and motion in our environment
Quarter 1
K-LS1-1
Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
K-ESS2-2
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
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.
K-ESS3-3
Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on living organisms and non-living things in the local environment.
Quarter 2
K-LS1-1
Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
K-ESS2-2
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
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.
K-ESS3-3
Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on living organisms and non-living things in the local environment.
Quarter 3
P-ESS2-1
Ask questions, make observations, and collect and record data using simple instruments to recognize patterns about how local weather conditions change daily and seasonally.
K-ESS2-1
Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
K-ESS3-2
Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
K-PS3-1
Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface
K-PS3-2
Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
Quarter 4
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.
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 a pull.
