Curriculum
Science 3.2(A)
Plan and implement descriptive investigations, including asking and answering questions, making inferences, and selecting and using equipment or technology needed, to solve a specific problem in the natural world;
Science 3.2(B)
Collect and record data by observing and measuring using the metric system and recognize differences between observed and measured data;
Science 3.2(C)
Construct maps, graphic organizers, simple tables, charts, and bar graphs using tools and current technology to organize, examine, and evaluate measured data;
Science 3.2(D)
Analyze and interpret patterns in data to construct reasonable explanations based on evidence from investigations;
Science 3.2(E)
Demonstrate that repeated investigations may increase the reliability of results; and
Science 3.2(F)
Communicate valid conclusions supported by data in writing, by drawing pictures, and through verbal discussion.
Science 3.6(C)
Observe forces such as magnetism and gravity acting on objects.
Science 4.2(A)
Plan and implement descriptive investigations, including asking well defined questions, making inferences, and selecting and using appropriate equipment or technology to answer his/her questions;
Science 4.2(B)
Collect and record data by observing and measuring, using the metric system, and using descriptive words and numerals such as labeled drawings, writing, and concept maps;
Science 4.2(C)
Construct simple tables, charts, bar graphs, and maps using tools and current technology to organize, examine, and evaluate data;
Science 4.2(D)
Analyze data and interpret patterns to construct reasonable explanations from data that can be observed and measured;
Science 4.2(E)
Perform repeated investigations to increase the reliability of results; and
Science 4.2(F)
Communicate valid oral and written results supported by data.
Science 4.6(D)
Design a descriptive investigation to explore the effect of force on an object such as a push or a pull, gravity, friction, or magnetism.
Science 5.2(A)
Describe, plan, and implement simple experimental investigations testing one variable;
Science 5.2(B)
Ask well defined questions, formulate testable hypotheses, and select and use appropriate equipment and technology;
Science 5.2(C)
Collect and record information using detailed observations and accurate measuring;
Science 5.2(D)
Analyze and interpret information to construct reasonable explanations from direct (observable) and indirect (inferred) evidence;
Science 5.2(E)
Demonstrate that repeated investigations may increase the reliability of results;
Science 5.2(F)
Communicate valid conclusions in both written and verbal forms; and
Science 5.2(G)
Construct appropriate simple graphs, tables, maps, and charts using technology, including computers, to organize, examine, and evaluate information.
Science 5.6(D)
Design a simple experimental investigation that tests the effect of force on an object.
