Science: Students will plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
They will learn how different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties.

Social Studies:  Students will review maps, positive and negative consequences, landforms and various forms of transportation. They will be tested on Unit 2.

*Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
*Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
* Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900
