1st Lab Session Week
Concept: Sun, Earth, and Moon
Investigation: What are the Sun, Earth, and the Moon?
Homework: worksheet- Sun, Earth, and Moon
3. Weather can be observed, measured, and described. As a basis for understanding this concept:
3c. Students know the sun warms the land, air, and water.
4. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
4a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
4b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written statements.
2nd Lab Session Week
Concept: Exploring Air-Part 1
Investigation: What is Air?
1. Materials come in different forms (states), including solids, liquids, and gases. As a basis for understanding this concept:
1a. Students know solids, liquids, and gases have different properties.
4a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
4b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written statements.
3rd Lab Session Week
Concept: Exploring Air-Part 2
Investigation: How do balloon rockets move?
1. Materials come in different forms (states), including solids, liquids, and gases. As a basis for understanding this concept:
1a. Students know solids, liquids, and gases have different properties.
4a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
4b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written statements.
4th Lab Session Week
Concept: Weather
Investigation: What is weather? What are the different types of weather?
3b. Students know that the weather changes from day to day but that trends in temperature or of rain (or snow) tend to be predictable during a season.
4a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
4b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written statements.
5th Lab Session Week
Concept: Weather Instruments
Investigation: How is temperature and wind speed measured?
Homework: worksheet- End of Module Weather Assessment
3a. Students know how to use simple tools (e.g., thermometer, wind vane) to measure weather conditions and record changes from day to day and across the seasons.
3b. Students know that the weather changes from day to day but that trends in temperature or of rain (or snow) tend to be predictable during a season.
6th Lab Session Week
Concept: Seasons of the Year
Investigation: What are the four seasons? What are the characteristics of each season?
Homework: worksheet- Summer and Winter
3a. Students know that the weather changes from day to day but that trends in temperature or of rain (or snow) tend to be predictable during a season.
4a. Draw pictures that portray some features of the thing being described.
4b. Record observations and data with pictures, numbers, or written statements.
7th Lab Session Week
Concept: Wind and Air Explorations
Investigation: How do you measure wind direction?
3a. Students know how to use simple tools (e.g., thermometer, wind vane) to measure weather conditions and record changes from day to day and across the seasons.
Subject to change.
