First Grade

Content Objective:  I can demonstrate application of thermometers by constructing my own thermometer using a straw, degree sheet and red pipe cleaner to practice accurately reading various temperatures to the nearest degree Fahrenheit.

Language Objective:  I can orally make and read three different temperatures  using my created thermometer.

Sentence stems:

The thermometer reads__________ degrees.

This means it feels _______ .

Vocabulary: weather, temperature, degrees, Fahrenheit, cool, warm, hot, cold

E.ES.E.3  Weather measurement-  Scientists use tools for observing, recording, and practicing weather changes.

S.IP.01.14  Manipulate simple tools(for example: thermometers) that aid observation and data collection.

  

 

Second Grade

Content Objective:

I can demonstrate comprehension of water in a liquid state by measuring water accurately using various measuring tools and observing it’s property in the liquid state.

Language Objective  I can write to explain what I learned about measuring water and some properties of water in a liquid state.

Vocabulary: water, measurement, volume, measuring cups, spoons, graduated cylinder, Liters(L), milliliters (ml)

P.PM.02.14  Measure the volume of liquids using common measuring tools (measuring cups, measuring spoons, graduated cylinder)

E.FE.02.13  Describe the properties of water as a liquid (visible, flowing, shape of container)

 

Third Grade

Content Objective: I can demonstrate application of how shadows are formed by constructing a shadow with an aluminum foil statue(object), a flashlight(light source) and paper(background).

Language Objective: I can write to explain how a shadow is made and what I discovered about shadows.

Sentence stems:

*A shadow is made when you have a _________, _________, and __________.

*I discovered that you can make a shadow longer or bigger by_______________.

*A shadow can be made shorter or smaller by____________________.

Vocabulary: light source, path of light, shadow, straight, light rays, object, background, block

P.EN.E.2 Light Properties- Light travels in a straight path. Shadows result from light not being able to pass through an object.

P.EN.03.21 Demonstrate that light travels in a straight path and that shadows are made by placing an object in a path of light.

 

Fourth Grade

Content Objective: I can demonstrate comprehension of how matter can change properties by predicting and observing what will happen when heat is added to various solids such as margarine, chocolate chips, rocks, and wax.

Language Objectives: I can write to explain how solids can be changed into liquids.

Sentence Stems:

A solid can be changed into a liquid by __________.   An example is_______________________.

Challenge: How can you change a solid back into a liquid?

Vocabulary: matter, change states, solid, liquid, gas, heating, cooling

P.CM.E.1 Changes in states- Matter can be changed from one state (solid, liquid, gas) to another and then back again. This may be caused by heating and cooling.

P.CM.04.11 Explain how matter can change from one state to another by heating and cooling.

 

Fifth Grade

Content Objective: I can demonstrate comprehension of the position and motion of objects in the sky by creating a model that demonstrates how the moon, Earth and sun move and the affects it has on us.

Language Objective:   I can write and draw to explain the motion of the sun, moon, and earth using arrows to show movement.

Vocabulary: gravity, solar system, gravitational pull, model, rotation, revolution, orbit,

E.ES.05.62  Explain how the revolution of the Earth around the  sun defines a year.

E.ST.M.2  Solar System  Motion- Gravity is the force that keeps most objects in the solar system in regular and predictable motion

ST.05.21  Describe the motion of the planets and moons in terms of rotation on axis and orbits due to gravity.
