make observations of the Sun in the sky to identify patterns in its changing locations and use these to support claims about the Sun’s predicted location in the sky

use images and video of the Moon and describe the same pattern of apparent motion as the Sun

make observations of the sky and objects in it to describe patterns of what makes it daytime or nighttime

describe patterns in the length of daytime and nighttime on different days, figuring out that daytimes are shorter or longer in different seasons because of changing sunrises and sunsets

make observations of young animals that are like, but not exactly like, their parents. 

examine external parts of plants and animals to determine to help them survive and grow

plan and carry out investigations together to produce evidence that can answer their questions about the phenomenon - reading under covers 

gather data about how transparent, translucent, opaque, and reflective materials cause light to pass through, be blocked, or change direction

make observations to figure out that a light source is needed to illuminate objects so they can be seen

use observations to develop models that explain why it was brighter or dimmer under the different covers and, eventually, use a new model to explain how they can successfully read under covers that block light
