Kindergarten: Smithsonian Science Topics and Disciplinary Core Ideas Covered

Exploring Forces and Motion (9/9/19 - 11/18/19)

Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • Motion is a change in position.

  • Objects and humans and other animals all experience motion.

  • There are many different types of motion.

  • Objects can move at different speeds. They can speed up, slow down and stop.

  • Forces are pushes and pulls that have both strength and direction.

  • Forces are needed to make objects move.

  • Changes in forces can result in changes in speed and direction of motion of an object.

  • Force is required to stop a moving object.

Exploring Plants and Animals (1/6/20 – 4/6/20)

Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • Living things are different from non-living things.

  • Living things grow, change, die and need things to survive.

  • Plants are living things.

  • Plants have seminaries, such as the ability to grow and the need for water, light and space.

  • Seeds grow into plants and need similar things as mature plants do.

  • Animals have similarities, such as the ability to move and the need for water, food and shelter.

  • Plants and animals have similarities, such as basic needs, the ability to grow and change, and death.

  • Environments provide the resources (e.g. water, food, air, shelter) that living things need.

  • All living things, including humans, affect the environment they live in.

  • Many kinds of plants and animals can share the same environment.


Exploring My Weather? (4/20/20 -6/22/20)

Disciplinary Core Ideas

· Weather changes from day to day and week to week.

· Weather features include temperature, precipitation, wind, and cloud cover.

· Weather features can be measured qualitatively by using the senses and quantitatively by using instruments such as thermometers and rain and wind gauges.

· Because water changes form depending on the temperature, precipitation has different forms.

· Weather affects the clothing humans wear and the type of shelter we need.

· Animal’s skin, fur, feathers, and behaviors can change, so that animals may protect themselves from weather.

· Weather patterns are related to the seasons.

· Meteorologists are scientists, who study, observe, and record information about the weather and who use this information to forecast the weather.

· Predictions about weather conditions allow us to make plans to cope with severe weather events.
