First Grade

Content Objective:   I can demonstrate comprehension of severe weather such as tornadoes by creating a model of a tornado (funnel shapes) using tornado water bottles and clear cups filled with water and a drop of liquid soap.

Language Objective:

I can write to explain facts about tornadoes using the sentence stems:

Tornadoes are _________________.

Tornadoes can_____________________.

Tornadoes have ______________________.

Vocabulary: severe weather, tornado, strong winds, precautions, safety, precipitation, thunder, lightning

E.ES.01.23 Describe severe weather characteristics.

E.ES.01.24 Describe precautions that should be taken for human safety during severe weather conditions.

Second Grade

Content Objective:  I can demonstrate comprehension of the uses and properties of water by participating in a Jeopardy review game and answering questions that pertain to the unit.

Language Objective:   I can orally answer review questions in a complete sentence.

Discipline 2: Physical Science Properties of Matter Standard P.PM: Develop an understanding that all matter has observable attributes with physical and chemical properties that are described, measured, and compared Understand that states of matter exist as solid, liquid, or gas; and have physical and chemical properties. Understand all matter is composed of combinations of elements, which are organized by common attributes and characteristics on the Periodic Table. Understand that substances can be classified as mixtures or compounds and according to their physical and chemical properties. P.PM.E.1 Physical Properties- All objects and substances have physical properties that can be measured. P.PM.02.14 Measure the volume of liquids using common measuring tools (measuring cups, measuring spoons) . Discipline 4: Earth Science Fluid Earth Standard E.FE: Develop an understanding that Earth is a planet nearly covered with water and that water on Earth can be found in three states, solid, liquid, and gas. Understand how water on Earth moves in predictable patterns. Understand Earth’s atmosphere as a mixture of gases and water vapor. E.FE.E.1 Water- Water is a natural resource and is found under the ground, on the surface of the earth, and in the sky. It exists in three states (liquid, solid, gas) and can go back and forth from one form to another. E.FE.02.11 Identify water sources (wells, springs, lakes, rivers, oceans). E.FE.02.12 Identify household uses of water (drinking, cleaning, food preparation). E.FE.02.13 Describe the properties of water as a liquid (visible, flowing, shape of container and recognize rain, dew, and fog as water in its liquid state. E.FE.02.14 Describe the properties of water as a solid (hard, visible, frozen, cold) and recognize ice, snow, and hail as water in its solid state.

Third Grade

Content Objective: I can demonstrate application of how sound can change (pitch and volume) by creating instruments that show a change in pitch.

Language Objective: I can write to explain what pitch is and how it can be changed by using the sentence stems:

Pitch is ___________________.

I can change the pitch of my instrument by __________________________________.

Vocabulary: sound, sound waves, vibrations, back and forth motion, pitch, volume, measure, inches

P.EN.E.3 Sound- Vibrating objects produce sound. The pitch of sound varies by changing the rate of vibration.

P.EN.03.32 Distinguish the effect of fast or slow vibrations as pitch.

Fourth Grade-  *This is a 2 part lesson.  The pictures below show the students working in teams to plan their bridges.  Next week…Look for pictures of constructed bridges:)*

Content Objective: I can demonstrate comprehension of Science and Engineering processes by completing a STEM challenge of building a 12 inch bridge using 10 popsicle sticks, 2 cups, 4 straws, tape and string.

Language Objectives: I can write to explain during each of the steps in the Science and Engineering process. (Question/problem, Imagine, Plan, Create/Construct, Evaluate/Improve).

Vocabulary: Science and Engineering, question/problem, Imagine, Plan, Create, Construct, Evaluate, improve,

S.IP.E.1 Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observations.

Fifth Grade-    *This Lesson has two parts- The pictures this week show the fifth graders planning.  Next week… look for pictures of their actual spaghetti towers:)*

Content Objective: I can demonstrate comprehension of Science and Engineering processes by completing a STEM challenge of building the tallest tower using only 20 sticks of uncooked spaghetti, 1 large marshmallow, string, and tape.

Language Objective: I can write to explain during each of the steps in the Science and Engineering process. (Question/problem, Imagine, Plan, Create/Construct, Evaluate/Improve).

Vocabulary: Science and Engineering, question/problem, Imagine, Plan, Create, Construct, Evaluate, improve,

S.IP.M.1 Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observations.
