Overview
Students experience a heightened
awareness of the physical world. Matter with which we interact
exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas. Students
explore matter in two of these states, solid and liquid.
Learning Expectation
Understand the basic elements of weather and climate
- Develop curiosity and interest
in the objects that make up their world.
- Investigate materials constructively
during free exploration and in a guided discovery mode.
- Recognize differences between
solids and liquids.
- Explore a number of liquids.
- Observe and describe the
properties of solids and liquids.
- Sort materials according
to properties.
- Combine and separate solids
of different particle sizes.
- Observe and describe what
happens when other liquids are mixed with water.
- Use information gathered
to conduct an investigation on an unknown material.
- Acquire the vocabulary associated
with earth materials.
- Use scientific thinking
processes to conduct investigations and build explanations:
observing, communicating, and comparing.
- Acquire skills to use tools
and scientific techniques to make better observations.
- Understand science safety
and follow safe practices during investigations
Assessments:
- Lab investigations
- Performance assessments
- Reflective notebooks
- Teacher created assessments
- Unit projects
- Homework/Class work
- Teacher observations

Science
Develop
students’ understanding
of the characteristics of
matter.
-
Objects
have many observable properties, such as size, weight, shape,
sound, texture, and the ability to react with other substances,
such as water.
-
Objects
can be described by the properties of the materials from
which they are made, and those properties can be used to
separate or sort a group of objects or materials.
-
Materials
can exist in different states – solid, liquid, and
gas. Some common materials, such as water, can be changed
from one state to another by heating or cooling.
