Kindergarten

I can demonstrate knowledge of how things move by observing and exploring with objects(ball, water syringe, car, car with string, jump rope) to see what force (push/pull) I used to make them move or work.

I can draw and orally explain how things move by using the sentence stems:

I can push a _____________.

I can pull a ______________.

Vocabulary:  force, push, pull, move, work, toward, away from

I can write and draw about one of the activities.

Sentence Stem:  Sound travels in ___________ .

Vocab:  Sound, hear, vibration, waves, solid, liquid, gas(air)

Second Grade

I can comprehend properties of matter by testing how absorbent various materials (paper towel, foil, wax paper, sponge) are.

I can fill in the graph to show how much water each material absorbed and answer questions on sheet to help me reflect on my learning.

  1. Which material would you use to clean up a spill?
  2. What property does this material have that would make you choose it?

Vocabulary:  property, matter, absorbent, soak, graduated cylinder, milliliters

Third Grade

I can demonstrate how static electricity is a force that can create motion by using a rubbed balloon to make a paper ghost dance and an aluminum can roll without touching it.

Before:

I can write or draw to explain how I think I will get the paper ghost to dance and can to roll using only a balloon and piece of wool(constraints: the balloon or you can not touch the paper ghost or can).

Vocabulary:  force, push, pull, motion, static electricity, electrons

Fourth Grade

I can demonstrate how speed affects energy by investigating speed and energy using paper towel tube tunnels, marbles, and rocks.

I can draw my experiment and explain how the speed of the marble (incline of ramp)  affected the energy transfer to the rock.

Sentence Stems:

When the ramp was lower, the marble made the rock only move________.

When the ramp was higher, the marble made the rock move ___________.

The results show that _________________________________________________________.

An example that shows this in real life is ________________________.

Vocabulary:  energy, speed, transfer, incline, steeper, distance, centimeters, average

Fifth Grade

I can demonstrate comprehension of properties of matter by testing and analyzing the properties(color, texture, reaction when mixed with water, reaction when mixed with vinegar) of 4 mystery substances(powdered sugar, baking soda, table salt, and flour) to figure out which one is which.

I can write a conclusion based on my results and the description of each substance in the chart.

Sentence Stems: (Do same with each mystery cup)

In conclusion I know cup 1 must be ______________ because__________________________________________________.
