Physical Science Skills PK Guideline What the student should be doing

*VI.A.1 Describes, observes, and investigates properties and characteristics of common objects.

• Using senses to explore and sensory language to describe properties of natural and human-made materials•Examines and describes the texture of materials•Sorts, groups, or classifies objects in meaningful ways based on one or more properties

*VI.A.2. Investigates and describes position and motion of object.

• Observes, measures, describes and demonstrates the various was objects can move•Investigates and states conclusions after moving a variety of toy vehicles on different surfaces

VI.A.3. Uses simple measuring devices to learn about objects.

• measures volume of water using non-standard measures (cups, bucket, etc.)

Life Science Skills

PK Guideline What the student should be doing

*VI.B.1. Identifies and describes the characteristics of organisms.

• Describes color, size, and shape of organisms• Describes animals’ needs fro food, water, air, and shelter• Uses the tools of science (hand lens, and measurement tools)

ABC

Life Science Activities

Nonlinguistic Representations/Advance Organizers/Identifying Similarities and Differences • Use animals or animal pictures that students draw, photos or pictures from books, photos of

their own household pets, assortment of animal manipulatives to talk about how animals are the same/different.

• Allow children to sort the animal manipulatives or animal pictures into categories and have them explain how they sorted them.

• Assist children in creating class graphs showing the number of legs on their favorite animals. Match pictures (or manipulatives) of adult animals with the appropriate baby animals.

ABC

Earth and Space Science Skills PK Guideline What the student should be doing

*VI.C.1. Identifies, compares, discusses earth materials, and their properties and uses.

• Observes, discusses and compares earth’s materials

VI.C.2.Identifies, observes, and discussed objects in the sky.

• investigates what happens to things exposed to the sun

*VI.C.3. Observes and describes changes in the earth and sky.

• Explains what happens after a weather event• Observes, records, and predicts what daily weather changes• Investigates with objects to observe what happens during a windy day• Observes shadows, and describes the relationships between the shadow and a light source• Investigates and draws conclusions about shadows

ABC

Earth and Space Science Activities

Whole group Cues, Questions & Advance Organizers Put rain gauges outside to collect rain. Talk with the children about the different amounts of rain collected on different days. Be sure to record the rainfall on a class chart or graph. Have students share their experiences of walking, traveling in a car, trying to sleep at night when it’s raining (and possibly thundering and lightening).

ABC

Personal Safety and Health SkillsPK Guideline What the student should be doing

VI.D.1. Practices good habits of personal safety.

• Follows/ uses safety procedures while using common tools and procedures

VI.D.2. Practices good habits of personal health and hygiene.

• Coughs and sneezes into their elbows (not cover their mouth with their hands)

*VI.D.3. Identifies good habits of nutrition and exercise.

• Demonstrates and discusses the need for exercise and rest to stay healthy•Identifies and discusses nutritious healthy snacks

ABC

Personal Safety and Health Activities

Recommended Lesson Format Use of a modified 5-E model of instruction is

encouraged throughout science lessons: o Engage (create interest, generate curiosity,

motivate students) o Explore (ask inquiry questions, observe and

listen, allow time for reflection) o Explain (build discussion, define and explain,

ask for clarification) o Elaborate (use experience to enhance

understanding, help apply new concepts) o Evaluate (observe behaviors, assess knowledge and skills, ask open-ended

questions, use work stations as a management tool, implement the use of picture/word wall to reinforce vocabulary

acquisition)
