KINDERGARTEN STORYLINES

Transcription

1 KINDERGARTEN S 1 - Humans and the Needs of Organisms Students observe a camping scene to identify what plants and animals need to live and grow. Animal Needs Plant Needs Reducing Human Impact K-LS1-1 K-ESS Dealing with Weather Students make daily weather observations and then play a severe-weather guessing Weather Conditions Measurement of Weather Weather Hazards K-ESS2-1 K-ESS3-2 game. 3 - Living Things and Their Habitats Students illustrate the habitat of a living organism, the natural resources it needs and uses, and how it changes the environment. Habitats Organisms Impact on Environments Uses of Natural Resources K-ESS2-2 K-ESS Using Force to Change Motion Students investigate how mass affects speed and design a way to change the direction of a ball. Speed and Direction Pushes and Pulls K-PS2-1 K-PS2-2 3 weeks 5 - Using Sunlight Students test and choose a material to build a doghouse Energy from the Sun K-PS3-1 K-PS3-2 that will keep a dog cool in the summer. 2 weeks

2 GRADE 1 S 1 - Design from Nature Students use what they know Parts of Animals 1-LS1-1 about animal coverings to Parts of Plants design a jacket to hold in Plant Survival warmth. Animal Surival 8 weeks 2 - Parents and Their Offspring Students show how mothers help their offspring survive and explain that the offspring of orangutans look similar to their parents. Protecting the Young Animal Trait Inheritance and Variation Plant Trait Inheritance and Variation 1-LS3-1 1-LS Patterns in the Sky Students complete a star Patterns in Space 1-ESS1-1 pattern and graph daylight Seasonal Patterns 1-ESS1-2 data. 4 - Communicating with Waves Students plan and use different ways to send messages using light and sound. Sound Behavior of Light Communication 1-PS4-1 1-PS4-2 1-PS4-3 1-PS4-4

3 GRADE 2 S 1 - Organisms: Needs and Interactions Students compare ways that animals disperse seeds. Students design a human seed-dispersal system. What Plants Need Animal and Plant Dependence Diversity of Living Things 2-LS2-1 2-LS2-2 2-LS Dealing with Changes to Earth Students show evidence of slow or quick changes and compare solutions to beach erosion. Quick Changes to Land Slow Changes to Land Effects of Wind and Water 2-ESS1-1 2-ESS Mapping Land and Water Students read a description of a fictional country and create a map for it. Mapping Our World Forms of Water on Earth 2-ESS2-2 2-ESS Selecting and Using Materials in the Design Process Students test different materials under a heat lamp and then select different materials to make a cooler. Properties and States of Matter Properties of Materials Building Blocks of Matter Changes of Heat 2-PS1-1 2-PS1-2 2-PS1-3 2-PS1-4 8 weeks

4 GRADE 3 S 1 - Lifestyles of Animals Students develop a life cycle Life Cycles 3-LS1-1 and write a story for a chosen Social and Group 3-LS2-1 animal. Behavior 2 - Effects on Organisms of Changing Environments Students decide on an action plan for the conservation of a bird species in Yellowstone National Park. Inheritance and Variation of Traits Environmental Traits Adaptations Environmental Changes and Effects 3-LS3-1 3-LS3-2 3-LS4-3 3-LS Organisms Change Over Time Students infer details about an ancient bird s habitat and use data to explain why ancient bird feet changed over time. Plant and Animal Extinction Fossils Survival of the Fittest 3-LS4-1 3-LS Dealing with Hazardous Weather Worldwide Students select a roof material to decrease the effects of extreme heat in India. Weather and Climate Process and Impacts of Natural Hazards 3-ESS2-1 3-ESS2-2 3-ESS Using Magnets to Move Objects Students design a plan to separate recyclable materials in a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Objects and Motion Electric and Magnetic Forces 3-PS2-1 3-PS2-2, 3-PS2-3 3-PS2-4

5 GRADE 4 S 1 - Plants and Animals Sensing and Interacting Students pick an animal, choose one structure that helps it sense and construct an argument about how that structure supports the animal s survival and growth. Using that sense, students create a flowchart showing how the animal responds when that sense is triggered. Plant and Animal Parts 4-LS1-1 4-LS Changes Over Time to the Earth s Surface Students analyze paleozoic Earth to locate geographical features, analyze changes to a mountain, and interpret a fossil core sample. Rock Patterns Changing Land Plants Effect on Regions Plate Tectonics 4-ESS1-1 4-ESS2-1 4-ESS Using Earth s Resources Students give evidence of increasing landslides in the town of Goodsell and provide solutions to reduce their impact. Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources Natural Processes 4-ESS3-1 4-ESS Using Energy Transformations Students model an asteroid hitting a rocket in space. Students design and build a warning system for their rockets. Energy and Speed Transfer of Energy in Collision Energy and Collision Energy and Electric Current Chemical Processes 4-PS3-1 4-PS3-2 4-PS3-3 4-PS3-4 9 weeks 5 - Communicating Using Wave Energy Students create an emergency signaling system and show how it interacts with the eye or ear. Motion of Waves Wavelength and Amplitude Light Reflection Information Technologies 4-PS4-1 4-PS4-2 4-PS4-3

6 GRADE 5 S 1 - Organisms Use of Matter Students describe the flow of energy and matter in a habitat. Matter and Energy in Plants Food Webs Matter Cycles Ecosystems Energy Transfer Basic Needs 5-LS1-1 5-LS2-1 5-PS weeks 2 - Observations of Patterns in the Objects in the Sky Students use candles to represent stars and create a graph to describe daylight hours in Chicago. Observing the Stars Objects in the Sky Earth s Rotation 5-ESS1-1 5-ESS Human Impact on the Earth s Systems Students analyze a problem affecting a water reservoir and identify steps the community takes to protect natural resources. Earth s Systems Interactions Earth s Systems Water Sources Human Footprint Reducing Human Footprint 5-ESS2-1 5-ESS2-2 5-ESS3-1 8 weeks 3 - Interactions in Matter Students will conduct an investigation to test four different powders with four tests to determine the unique Matter Is Everywhere Matter Changing States Properties of Matter Mixtures 5-PS1-1 5-PS1-2 5-PS1-3 5-PS1-4 properties of each. 5 - The Force of Gravity Students engage in a gravity Gravity 5-PS2-1 activity and then make a claim about the direction of Earth s gravitational pull. 1.
