LEARNING STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE

Next Generation Science Standards

NGSSK-ESS3-1

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their surroundings make up a system.

NGSSK-ESS3-2

Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather. Emphasis is on local forms of severe weather.

NGSSK-ESS2-1

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. Examples of qualitative observations could include descriptions of the weather (such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, and warm); examples of quantitative observations could include numbers of sunny, windy, and rainy days in a month. Examples of patterns could include that it is usually cooler in the morning than in the afternoon and the number of sunny days versus cloudy days in different months. Assessment of quantitative observations limited to whole numbers and relative measures such as warmer/cooler.

NGSSK-ESS2-2

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. Examples of plants and animals changing their environment could include a squirrel digs in the ground to hide its food and tree roots can break concrete.

NGSSK-PS3-1

Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface. Examples of Earth’s surface could include sand, soil, rocks, and water. Assessment of temperature is limited to relative measures such as warmer/cooler.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-3

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

NGSSK-LS1-1

Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. Examples of patterns could include that animals need to take in food but plants do not; the different kinds of food needed by different types of animals; the requirement of plants to have light; and, that all living things need water.

Texas Essential of Knowledge and Skills

TEKSSCI.K.1.A

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student conducts classroom and outdoor investigations following home and school safety procedures and uses environmentally appropriate and responsible practices. The student is expected to: identify, discuss, and demonstrate safe and healthy practices as outlined in Texas Education Agency-approved safety standards during classroom and outdoor investigations, including wearing safety goggles or chemical splash goggles, as appropriate, washing hands, and using materials appropriately;

TEKSSCI.K.1.B

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student conducts classroom and outdoor investigations following home and school safety procedures and uses environmentally appropriate and responsible practices. The student is expected to: demonstrate how to use, conserve, and dispose of natural resources and materials such as conserving water and reusing or recycling paper, plastic, and metal.

TEKSSCI.K.2.A

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities to ask questions and seek answers in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: ask questions about organisms, objects, and events observed in the natural world.

TEKSSCI.K.2.B

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities to ask questions and seek answers in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: plan and conduct simple descriptive investigations.

TEKSSCI.K.2.C

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities to ask questions and seek answers in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: collect data and make observations using simple tools.

TEKSSCI.K.3.B

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student knows that information and critical thinking are used in scientific problem solving. The student is expected to: make predictions based on observable patterns in nature.

TEKSSCI.K.4.B

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student uses age-appropriate tools and models to investigate the natural world. The student is expected to: use the senses as a tool of observation to identify properties and patterns of organisms, objects, and events in the environment.

TEKSSCI.K.5.A

Matter and energy. The student knows that objects have properties and patterns. The student is expected to: observe and record properties of objects, including bigger or smaller, heavier or lighter, shape, color, and texture.
