Second Grade
I can demonstrate knowledge of vocabulary from the 2nd card marking unit on “Processes That Shape the Earth” by taking a pretest.

I can draw or write to explain what I know about the vocabulary words from new unit.

Vocabulary: volcano, earthquake, landslide, flood, wind (natural phenomenon)

Third Grade- STEM Activity: Pom Pom Blaster
*Test Day*
I can demonstrate application of how force and motion are used by designing and building a device that launches Pom Poms in the air using the Engineering Design process(Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create & Test, Improve, Present).
Constraints:
*The blaster must be free standing.
*It must launch a pom-pom into the air and it must travel 2 feet.
*Can only use materials provided: pom-poms, tape, straws, craft sticks, rubber bands, paper clips, index cards, cups, spoons.

I can draw a plan of how I will design and build my Pom-Pom Blaster. I can reflect on what worked and what needed improvement.

Vocabulary: force, motion, speed, gravity, balanced force, unbalanced force, inertia, slope, measurement

3-5-ETS1-1
3-5-ETS1-2

Fourth Grade: (STEM- Culminating Activity)

*Create and Test Day*

I can demonstrate application of how energy is used by building a marble roller coaster or car race track using the Engineering Design process(Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create & Test, Improve, Present).

Marble Roller Coaster
Materials: Tubing, tape, marble, cup
Challenge: Can you build a rollercoaster using only materials provided so that your marble makes it all the way through.

Car Race Track
Materials: race track pieces, toy car
Challenge: Can you build a race track using only materials provided so that your toy makes it all the way through.

I can draw a plan of how I will build my roller coaster or car track. I can reflect on what worked and what needed improvement.

Vocabulary: energy, speed, transfer, potential, kinetic, motion, force, stored energy, motion energy

3-5-ETS1-1

Fifth Grade
I can demonstrate comprehension of gravity by exploring with 2 gravity experiments:
Activity 1- Feather and Hammer (dropped at same height and time)
What happens when dropped on the Earth?
What happens when dropped on the moon?

Activity 2- Various size balls (dropped at same height and time in a tub of sand)

Does size or mass change what happens when dropped?
What did you observe?

I can write at least 3 facts that I learned about gravity or orally add to the KWL chart.

Sentence Stems:

I learned that gravity______________________________.
Another thing is that gravity________________________________.
Gravity is _____________________________________________

Vocabulary: force, gravity, pull, weight, inertia, mass, air resistance, impact

PS2.B Types of Interactions
