Everything is Made of Matter
Everything is Made of Matter
Students investigate properties of matter and analyze data to see which type of materials are best for an intended purpose based on their properties. Additionally, students will make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object. Lastly, students will investigate how heating and cooling changes matter and construct an evidence-based account to share their explanations.
Life Needs Plants
Life Needs Plants
What do plants need to grow? How many types of living things live in a place? Students learn about biodiversity, investigate and compare two different ecosystems, conduct an experiment on plant needs, explore how plant structures function to help them survive, discover how plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and pollination, and design a hand pollinator that mimics the function of bee structures. Students develop a scientific mindset and practice following the Engineering Design Process.
