ILLINOIS VISION OF K-12 SCIENCE EDUCATION
ILLINOIS VISION OF K-12 SCIENCE EDUCATION
Effective science teaching and learning will mean that Illinois K-12 students will be better prepared for entrance into college and careers. The ILS-Science are designed to help students acquire a deep understanding of core science and engineering content and ideas as well as experience applying that knowledge in any context. Students will demonstrate their scientific proficiency by engaging in practices that demonstrate the ability to apply scientific concepts. (From the Illinois State Board of Education website)

Your kit is packed with products that will help you save energy and money. Inside the kit is a Parent Pack with a Quick Start Guide that offers tips for even more savings. If you need help installing the items in your kit, simply click to view installation videos or print the installation instructions below.
High-Efficiency Showerhead
High-Efficiency Showerhead
Shower yourself with both water and energy savings. Enjoy the benefits of both water and energy savings. Toss out that old, leaky, water-wasting showerhead and turn your shower into a money saving machine! The High-Efficiency Showerhead adds pressure and oxygen so you use less water and less energy to heat the water. The average family can save 2,900 gallons of heated water per year.
Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Aerator
Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Aerator
Go with the flow and flip on the savings. The Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Aerators are a must-have. For the Kitchen Faucet Aerator, choose between spray or stream and adjust the flow with the flip control. Every energy-efficient kitchen and bathroom needs one! These high-efficiency Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Aerators save water, energy and money.
Digital Thermometer
Digital Thermometer
Test the temperature and take control of your savings. The Digital Thermometer is a complete multifunction tool. Use it to check for leaky windows and doors, check the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer, or check the settings on your water heater.
9-Watt LED Light Bulb*
9-Watt LED Light Bulb*
It’s more than just a new light bulb. It’s an energy saving power house. The 9-watt Omni-Directional LED Light Bulbs provided in the energy-saving kit use at least 75 percent less electricity and last about 25 times longer than many incandescent bulbs. That’s 25,000 hours or more! Replace your most used 60-watt incandescent bulbs with the 9-watt LEDs. As always, these LEDs are ENERGY STAR certified.
Shower Timer
Shower Timer
Become empowered while you shower. The Shower Timer will empower you to conserve water and energy while in the shower. Set to exactly five minutes, this great water-saving device encourages the wise use of water.

Unit 2: Matter
Unit 2: Matter
Unit Summary: In this unit of study, students describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen by developing a model. The crosscutting concept of scale, proportion, and quantity is highlighted as an organizing concept for these disciplinary core ideas. Students demonstrate grade-appropriate proficiency in developing and using models, planning and carrying out investigations, and use these practices to demonstrate understanding of the core ideas.
Enduring Understandings:
● Matter is all around us.
● All objects are made of matter.
● Matter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. A model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon and the effects of air on larger particles or objects (5-PS1-1).
● Standard units are used to measure and describe physical quantities such as weight, time, temperature, and volume (5-PS1-3).
● Natural objects exist from the very small to the immensely large (5-PS1-1).
Essential Questions:
● What is matter?
● What are the properties of matter?
● How is matter measured?
● How is matter conserved?
● How does matter change?
● When matter changes, does weight change?
● How can properties be used to identify materials?
