Science
Physical Sciences:
The motion of objects can be observed and
measured:
1. A. Students know the position of
an object can be described by locating it
in relation to another object or to the background.
(Harmonograph, Gravity Wall, Bernoulli
Blower, Pin Screen)
1. B. Students know an object's motion
can be described by recording the change in
position of the object over time. (Harmonograph)
1. C. Students know the way to change
how something is moving is by giving it a
push or a pull. The size of the change is
related to the strength, or the amount of
force, of the push or pull. (Harmonograph,
Bernoulli Blower, Pulley Wall, Gear Wall)
1. D. Students know tools and machines
are used to apply pushes and pulls (forces)
to make things move. (Harmonograph, Bernoulli
Blower, Pulley Wall, Gear Wall)
1. E. Students know objects fall to
the ground unless something holds them up.
(Gravity Wall, Bernoulli Blower)
1. F. Students know magnets can be
used to make some objects move without being
touched. (Magnetic Area)
1. G. Students know sound is made by
vibrating objects and can be described by
its pitch and volume. (Oscilloscope)
Life Sciences:
Plants and animals have predictable life cycles:
2. B. As a basis for understanding
this concept: Students know the sequential
stages of life cycles are different for different
animals, such as butterflies, frogs, and mice.
(Nature Area)
Earth Sciences:
3. A. Students know how to compare
the physical properties of different kinds
of rocks and know that rock is composed of
different combinations of minerals. (Gem
and Mineral Area, Florescent Wonders)
3. B. Students know smaller rocks come
from the breakage and weathering of larger
rocks. (Gem and Mineral Area)
3. C. Students know that soil is made
partly from weathered rock and partly from
organic materials and that soils differ in
their color, texture, capacity to retain water,
and ability to support the growth of many
kinds of plants. (Gem and Mineral Area)
3. D. Students know that fossils provide
evidence about the plants and animals that
lived long ago and that scientists learn about
the past history of Earth by studying fossils.
(Gem and Mineral Area, Camping at the Dig)
Investigation:
4. F. Use magnifiers or microscopes
to observe and draw descriptions of small
object or small features of objects. (Naturescope,
Wentz Scope)
