• Earth and space science: Students will study the universe and its stars by observing, describing, and predicting patterns of the motion of the sun, moon and stars in the sky.

  • Life Science: Students observe organisms in order to recognize that many types of young plants and animals are like, but not exactly the same as, their parents. Students also observe how organisms use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs, and how the behaviors of parents and offspring help offspring survive.

  • Physical Science: Students will study light and sound. Students plan and conduct investigations and make observations as they explore sound and light energy. Students will use their observations and data as evidence to determine cause-and-effect relationships in the natural world.


Earth and Space Science

Scientists will:

  • study the patterns of movement of the sun, moon, and stars as seen from Earth can be observed, described, and predicted.
