• RI.K–5.3: Describe connections between scientific concepts and observations.
  
  

Technology (ISTE Standards for Students)

• 1.1 Empowered Learner: Students use observation tools to deepen understanding.

• 1.5 Computational Thinker: Students collect data and identify patterns (outcome comparisons).
