Week of Aug. 20th - Aug. 24thAug. 20th - Aug. 24th IndicatorWeatherK-4.1: Identify weather changes that occur from day to day.

Instructional Strategies

1. It is essential for students to be able to identify weather changes from day to day and to recognize that weather changes on a daily basis. There are many different types of weather conditions, for example, sunny, rainy, stormy, snowy, cloudy, windy, hot, wet, or cold.

NOTE TO TEACHER: In conjunction with K-1.3, they can predict the weather based on observations.

2. It is not essential for students to use weather instruments to gather data. Data collection using instruments will be introduced at 2nd grade (2-1.2 and 2-3.4) where students will use a thermometer, rain gauge, and wind vane or sock to measure and record weather information.

3. Correlate Marzano Instructional Strategies:1. KWL2. Venn Diagram3. Frayer Model

4. Each morning during calendar time one child will be chosen to “check the weather.” That child will go to the window/door to observe the day’s weather condition. As that child is walking to the window/door the class will sing a weather song.

5. Each morning during calendar time a child/class will observe the daily weather condition i.e.: sunny, windy, rainy, foggy etc., and the teacher will record this information pictorially on a graph.

6. Draw or chart the weather for a week.

Assessment

Assessment Guidelines:The objective of this indicator is to identify daily weather changes; therefore, the primary focus of assessment should be to remember different types of weather conditions. However, appropriate assessments should also require students to identify how the weather is different today compared to yesterday using specific terms.

1. Teacher will read Brown Bear and create an anchor chart listing the animals observed in the story.2. Read section entitled “The Sense of Sight.” The teacher will have students look at the penny and discuss what

they see. Then have the students look at the penny through a magnifying glass. Discuss. Then have students look at the penny through a microscope. Discuss the differences and why they thought they saw different things at different times.

3. Students will sit with a partner and draw a portrait of each other and discuss what they observed.4. Have students observe an apple and draw a picture of what it looks like.5. Teach the words to the song, “Head and shoulders, knees and toes” As the children sing, they will touch the

mentioned part of the body. Song: Head and shoulders, knees and toes-Knees and toes! Head and shoulders, Knees and toes-Knees and toes! Eyes and ears and mouth and nose, Head shoulders knees and toes-Knees and toes!

It is essential for students to know that the human body has distinct structures and that they serve different functions.

Walking To move on foot. We use our feet and legs to walk.

Holding To take or grasp something firmly and not let go. We use our hand(s), fingers, or arms to hold things.

Touching To gather information from objects through direct contact with the skin on the fingers, hands, or other parts of the body.

Seeing To use your eyes to identify objects.

Smelling To gather information with your nose.

Hearing To identify sounds with your ears.

Talking To use a particular language to communicate with people. Most people use their mouths to communicate

but some use their hands and some even use a computer.

Tasting To determine flavor with the tongue or mouth. Bitter, salty, sour, and sweet are the four tastes the tongue can discern.

It is not essential for students to go beyond identifying these

It is essential for students to know that there are five senses and that there are specific parts of the body (sensory organs) that are responsible for each of the five senses.

Eyes The sensory organs that see. They take in information (for example, shapes, colors, size or movements) about the world.

Nose The sensory organ that smells odors and is a big part of why a person is able to taste things.

Ears The sensory organs that collect sounds. The part of the ear that can be seen collects the sounds a person hears.

Tongue The sensory organ that aids in swallowing, tasting, and speaking.

Skin The sensory organ that covers and protects everything inside the body. The skin holds everything together. It also helps keep the body at just the right temperature and allows people to have the sense of touch (for example

shape, texture, hardness).

It is not essential for students to go beyond identifying the functions of the sensory organs.Resources

Week of Oct. 1st - Oct. 5thOct. 1st - Oct. 5th IndicatorK-1.1 Identify observed objects or events by using the senses.K-1.2 Use tools including magnifiers and eyedroppers safely, accurately, and appropriately when gathering specific data.K-1.3 Predict and explain information or events based on observation or previous experience.K-1.5 Use appropriate safety procedures when conducting investigationsInstructional Strategies

It is essential for students to know that making observations is a way of learning about the world around us. A scientific observation is one that anyone can make and the result will always be the same. For example, the plant

is green, has three leaves, and feels smooth. An unscientific observation, or an opinion, is one that not everyone may agree on. For example, the flower is pretty. Observing does not mean just looking at something. It involves the use of several or all of the five senses (seeing,

hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting) using appropriate observation methods for each sense, such as wafting an odor so that its smell can be described or gently touching the edges of seashells to determine their textures.

Tasting in science should only be done with the permission of the teacher under controlled conditions. Observing helps to find out about objects (their characteristics, properties, differences, similarities) and events (what

comes first or last, or what is happening at a particular moment).

It is not essential for students to identify observations as qualitative or quantitative. 1. Give students paper material (construction paper, wax paper, notebook paper, card stock). Ask students to place a

drop of water on each type of paper and observe the waters reaction to the paper.2. Have the students to write their observations in their science journals.3. Using the hand lens, have the student observe a drop of colored water on a piece of white paper and observe with

the hand lens, write observations in their science journals.4. Review safety procedures before investigations and demonstrate the correct use of tools.

Week of Oct. 8th - Oct. 12thOct. 8th - Oct. 12th IndicatorK-1.1 Identify observed objects or events by using the senses.Instructional Strategies

Instructional Considerations: This lesson introduces the five senses to the students along with the words used to describe objects we observe with our senses. For example when we “see” an object, we can describe its color, size, shape. When we “touch” an object, we can describe its texture as smooth or rough. We can describe the sound we “hear” as loud or soft. We can describe the “smell” as strong or mild. We can also describe how something “tastes”-sweet or sour, salty or bitter. The objective of the lesson is to use reasoning along with the senses to discover the identity of a hidden object.

This lesson is an example of how a teacher might address the intent of this indicator. Possible resources might include the FOSS Wood and Paper kit, FOSS Fabric kit, and Insights Myself and Others and Senses kits, any of which provide opportunities for conceptual development of the concepts within the standard.Safety Note(s): Students should understand that the sense of taste is very important but that they should never taste anything in science class unless the teacher tells them it is appropriate. Additionally, the sense of smell should only be used by “wafting” the scent of the object toward the nose by moving the hand back and forth over the object. For young children this can be called the “scientific sniff”.

Lesson time:Two days (45 minutes x 2) Materials Needed: For each child:

An opaque (non-transparent) container with an easily closed lid (quart size plastic yogurt containers or small cardboard boxes work well).

For each small group of students: A group of objects of various weights and textures that is small enough to fit into the containers: a Ping-

Pong ball, a plastic egg, various blocks, a large coin, a small paper cup, a feather, a cotton ball with a small amount of vanilla extract on it, and a pencil eraser. Use objects that are familiar to the students.

A tray to hold the objects. A towel to cover the objects.

Focus Question: How do we observe with our senses?

Engage:1. Show the children a tray of three to eight small objects, and invite them to look at, touch, and smell the

objects, exploring and describing their properties.

Explore:1. Ask each student to talk about one object and then compare two. What do you feel? Is it soft or hard?

How heavy is it? How are they alike and how are they different? Is it rough or smooth? What color is it?2. Next, play a “What is it?” game. The object of the game is to guess the identity of a mystery object hidden

inside the container. To keep students from seeing the object, cover the tray with the cloth while you pick up the object.

3. You can leave the cloth covering the remaining objects or remove it. Some children will ignore the objects left on the tray, but others will use them to determine what is not in the container. To make the game more challenging and to keep the focus on using the senses, after a few rounds keep the remaining objects covered.

4. The students will shake the container to hear the sound the object makes as it moves. Ask, “What can we tell about the hidden object—by listening to it move? How heavy is it? How does it move? Does it roll or slide?” Give each child a turn to tell her or his guess and share why they think that before opening the container.

5. For students who need more help, you can model how to ask questions about what you feel and hear to determine what is inside the container. Does it feel heavy? Does it roll when I tip the container? If students cannot guess the object by sound let them close their eyes and use the “scientific sniff” by wafting the

scent of the object toward their nose. If the object still cannot be determined, let them put their hand in the container to feel it.

6. Switch roles with the students, allowing them to put an object into the container while you cover your eyes. Keep the focus on asking questions by saying, “What questions should I be asking to learn about the hidden object?”

Explain:1. Ask these questions.

What senses did we use to guess the mystery object? Did we use our hearing? Did we use our sense of touch? Did we use our sense of sight? When is it appropriate to use our sense of taste? (Use taste only when the teacher tells us to.) How do we use our sense of smell safely? (Waft the scent toward our nose by waving our hand over

the object - the “scientific sniff”).Extend:

1. The objects and the opaque container should be placed in a center for the students to continue playing the “What is it?” game over time. Occasionally new objects should be introduced to the center.

2. As students play the game in the center, the teacher should question students in order to determine if they can identify observed objects or events by using the senses and understand that observations are made using some or all of the five senses. Ask them what sense enabled them to make a particular observation.

Week of Oct. 29th - Nov. 2ndOct. 29th - Nov. 2nd IndicatorK-1.1 Identify observed objects or events by using the senses.Instructional Strategies

1. Review steps of the scientific process (guess, try, tell).2. Use yarn/string as a non-standard unit of measurement. 3. Ask students to predict (guess) how much yarn we would need to make a belt for the pumpkin. Make signs entitled, “Too Large”, “Too Small” and “Just Right”. 4. Allow each student an opportunity to measure (try) using his yearn/string. 5. Then place their yarn in the appropriate place. Discuss conclusions (tell).6. Conduct a pumpkin seed taste test – raw or roasted. 7. Display a Venn Diagram titled, “How Do You Like Your Seeds?” Label one roasted and the other raw.

8. Have students use their sense of taste to decide which they like best. 9. Have students cut out a construction paper seed, write their name on it and place it on the diagram according to their preference. Discuss results of the diagram. 10. The students will identify the life cycle of a pumpkin.

Read Floating by Patricia Whitehouse

• Students will guess whether their pumpkins will sink or float when placed in water. Record guesses. Make a chart of guesses under the words Sink/ Float• Students will try it. Ask which side is up when a pumpkin floats (stem, side or bottom) & whether all pumpkins will float the same way.• See if other fruits & vegetables will float & graph the results. Compare & contrast. • Enjoy eating the different vegetables and fruit after you are finished the lesson.

Read Pumpkin Patch by Elizabeth King or another related book.Review the life cycle of a pumpkin. Discuss how all living things go through a life cycle. Non-living things do not go through a life cycle. Science K-2.5Cut the class pumpkin (carve as well) Scoop out the seeds. Have students’ estimate how many seeds. Use a T- Chart labeled “More Than 100” and “Less Than 100”. Count the seeds and compare the results.

1. The teacher will have one example of many different materials. Ex: glass bottle, metal soda can, log, piece of paper, etc. In small groups, children will be able to feel and explore each material cooperatively. After exploration, each child will have a turn describing the different materials. Ex: “The bottle is glass. It is smooth. It is clear.” or, “The log is made of fire wood. It is brown and rough.” At the completion of the lesson the teacher will do an overview of the adjectives used to describe the materials and question the students about what each material is used for.

2. The teacher will supply numerous pictures/photos of all kinds of objects. The children will look at the pictures in large group and determine what material the object is made up of. Ex: If the teacher were to hold up a picture of a forest, the children would respond that the trees were made of wood. Or, if the teacher asked what her dress was made of the children, would respond with fabric. The teacher can also expand her questioning to include “How do you think a tree feels – smooth or rough?”

3. The teacher will have 4 small boxes placed in the front of the room labeled WOOD, PLASTIC, GLASS, and FABRIC. Next, he/she will supply numerous objects or pictures of objects to the class. After each item is placed in the box, the class will approve or disapprove of the child’s selection through a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down.” If a “thumbs down” occurs, another child will be chosen to cooperatively help the other make the correct decision. Discuss which items can be recycled.

4. In the science center children will have pictures of objects with a descriptive word on it. Ex: a picture of a log and the word wood. Or, a picture of a soda can and the word metal. The children will have paper in the center and will draw the picture and practice writing the corresponding word to match. When they have written and drawn all items, they can make a title page: My Material Book. The teacher will staple the pages together

5. In small groups, the teacher will have small pieces of all kinds of materials. A child in the group will select 2 of the items out of the pile. The group will then estimate which of the 2 items will be heavier and lighter. They may touch/hold them before they estimate. After the estimation, the teacher will place the 2 items on a balance scale to measure them. The children will see if their estimation was correct. This will be repeated until all of the materials have been used. This activity will further help the children understand the properties of all of the materials. After the activity, the balance scale and materials may be placed in the math center for further exploration.

6. Give students cloth and paper. The students will determine if it can be crumpled, folded or torn. Chart the results.7. Create paper chains. 8. Make paper using newspaper, blender and mesh screen.9. Create paper bag puppets.10. Sort objects by wood or metal.11. Create clay pots using air dry clay.

Feb. 19th - Feb. 22ndIndicatorK-5.1 Classify objects by observable properties (including size, color, shape, magnetic attraction, heaviness, texture,









and the ability to float in waterK- 5.2 Compare the properties of different types of materials (including wood, plastic, metal, cloth, and paper) from which objects are made.Instructional Strategies

1. The teacher will have one example of many different materials. Ex: glass bottle, metal soda can, log, piece of paper, etc. In small groups, children will be able to feel and explore each material cooperatively. After exploration, each child will have a turn describing the different materials. Ex: “The bottle is glass. It is smooth. It is clear.” or, “The log is made of fire wood. It is brown and rough.” At the completion of the lesson the teacher will do an overview of the adjectives used to describe the materials and question the students about what each material is used for.2. The teacher will supply numerous pictures/photos of all kinds of objects. The children will look at the pictures in large group and determine what material the object is made up of. Ex: If the teacher were to hold up a picture of a forest, the children would respond that the trees were made of wood. Or, if the teacher asked what her dress was made of the children, would respond with fabric. The teacher can also expand her questioning to include “How do you think a tree feels – smooth or rough?”3. The teacher will have 4 small boxes placed in the front of the room labeled WOOD, PLASTIC, GLASS, and FABRIC. Next, he/she will supply numerous objects or pictures of objects to the class. After each item is placed in the box, the class will approve or disapprove of the child’s selection through a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down.” If a “thumbs down” occurs, another child will be chosen to cooperatively help the other make the correct decision. Discuss which items can be recycled.4. In the science center children will have pictures of objects with a descriptive word on it. Ex: a picture of a log and the word wood. Or, a picture of a soda can and the word metal. The children will have paper in the center and will draw the picture and practice writing the corresponding word to match. When they have written and drawn all items, they can make a title page: My Material Book. The teacher will staple the pages together5. In small groups, the teacher will have small pieces of all kinds of materials. A child in the group will select 2 of the items out of the pile. The group will then estimate which of the 2 items will be heavier and lighter. They may touch/hold them before they estimate. After the estimation, the teacher will place the 2 items on a balance scale to measure them. The children will see if their estimation was correct. This will be repeated until all of the materials have been used. This activity will further help the children understand the properties of all of the materials. After the activity, the balance scale and materials may be placed in the math center for further exploration.6. Give students cloth and paper. The students will determine if it can be crumpled, folded or torn. Chart the results.7. Create paper chains. 8. Make paper using newspaper, blender and mesh screen.9. Create paper bag puppets.10. Sort objects by wood or metal.11. Create clay pots using air dry clay.

1. Students will experiment to discover if materials float or sink using a large pan/tub of water. Choose various items made from different materials to allow students to predict what will happen when the items are placed in the water. Test items separately and record information on a t-chart (float sink). Discuss whether or not the predictions were correct and explain why each item floated or sank.

2. Allow students to bring small items from home. In centers, allow each group to predict-test-tell what happened.3. Using a balance, weigh a bottle of water and different classroom objects.4. Place ice in a clear cup and observe the ice changing through the different properties of matter.5. Using fruit juice, pour in cups, place in the freezer with a stick and time/name on each cup to see how long each will take to freeze.

1. The students will listen to the story What’s Alive by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld. After reading the story, the class will discuss that all living things need 4 things to stay alive.

2. The children will be encouraged throughout the day to look for living things that need food, air, shelter, and water to survive (in classroom, at recess, etc.) Teacher will then ask for help in compiling a list (on chart paper) of all the living things that they know. If an incorrect answer is given, the teacher will question that student, “Does that need food? air? water? shelter?” Remind students that plants and animals are alive too.

3. In writing center, or small group the children will be supplied with a teacher made book that has 4 pages that say: Living things need: and on each page the children will write either food, air, shelter, or water in the blank and illustrate the page.

Actual plants (or pictures) and pictures of animals can also be shared and discussed. Class charts can be used to compare and contrast. (Ex: plants grow and animals grow---both need food to grow).8. The parts of a plant can be discussed and shared in the song “Parts of a Plant” (see next page) from 101 Science Poems and Songs for Young Learners.9. The teacher will bring two pictures of herself, one younger and one current. Lead the students through a discussion of similarities and differences between the young and older teacher. Be sure to point out that the pictures are of the same person. Explain that you are going to show them pictures of an adult animal and their offspring. Explain offspring. Draw a Venn diagram on the board or chart paper. Label one circle “Adult” and the other circle “Offspring”. Using picture cards of an adult animal and their offspring have students give attributes of the animals. Place the similarities in the middle of the Venn diagram, differences in the outer rings. Discuss the findings. 10. Provide pictures of plants/animals and their offspring. In centers using play-dough or clay, have the students make an adult and offspring.
