| MI: ELA & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects K-5 2. Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. W.K.2. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic. 5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. W.K.5. With guidance and support from adults, respond to questions and suggestions from peers and add details to strengthen writing as needed. Research to Build and Present Knowledge
7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. W.K.7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of books by a favorite author and express opinions about them). 8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. W.K.8. With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. Discipline 1: Science Processes Inquiry Process
K-7 Standard S.IP: Develop an understanding that scientific inquiry and reasoning involves observing, questioning, investigating, recording, and developing solutions to problems
S.IP.E.1 Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observation. S.IP.00.11 Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate senses S.IP.00.12 Generate questions based on observations. S.IP.00.13 Plan and conduct simple investigations. S.IP.00.14 Manipulate simple tools (for example: hand lens, pencils, balances, non-standard objects for measurement) that aid observation and data collection. S.IP.00.16 Construct simple charts from data and observations. Inquiry Analysis and Communication
K-7 Standard S.IA: Develop an understanding that scientific inquiry and investigations require analysis and communication of findings, using appropriate technology.
S.IA.E.1 Inquiry includes an analysis and presentation of findings that lead to future questions, research, and investigations. S.IA.00.12 Share ideas about science through purposeful conversation. S.IA.00.13 Communicate and present findings of observations. S.IA.00.14 Develop strategies for information gathering (ask an expert, use a book, make observations, conduct simple investigations, and watch a video). Reflection and Social Implications
K-7 Standard S.RS: Develop an understanding that claims and evidence for their scientific merit should be analyzed. Understand how scientists decide what constitutes scientific knowledge. Develop an understanding of the importance of reflection on scientific knowledge and its application to new situations to better understand the role of science in society and technology.
S.RS.E.1 Reflecting on knowledge is the application of scientific knowledge to new and different situations. Reflecting on knowledge requires careful analysis of evidence that guides decision making and the application of science throughout history and within society. S.RS.00.11 Demonstrate scientific concepts through various illustrations, performances, models, exhibits, and activities. Discipline 2: Physical Science Force and Motion K-7 Standard P.FM: Develop an understanding that the position and/or motion of an object is relative to a point of reference. Understand forces affect the motion and speed of an object and that the net force on an object is the total of all of the forces acting on it. Understand the Earth pulls down on objects with a force called gravity. Develop an understanding that some forces are in direct contact with objects, while other forces are not in direct contact with objects.
P.FM.E.1 Position- A position of an object can be described by locating the object relative to other objects or a background. P.FM.00.11 Describe the position of an object (for example: above, below, in front of, behind, on) in relation to other objects around it. P.FM.00.12 Describe the direction of a moving object (for example: away from or closer to) from different observers’ views. P.FM.E.2 Gravity- Earth pulls down on all objects with a force called gravity. With very few exceptions, objects fall to the ground no matter where the object is on the Earth. P.FM.00.21 Observe how objects fall toward the earth. P.FM.E.3 Force- A force is either a push or a pull. The motion of objects can be changed by forces. The size of the change is related to the size of the force. The change is also related to the weight (mass) of the object on which the force is being exerted. When an object does not move in response to a force, it is because another force is being applied by the environment. P.FM.00.31 Demonstrate pushes and pulls on objects that can move. P.FM.00.32 Observe that objects initially at rest will move in the direction of the push or pull. P.FM.00.33 Observe how pushes and pulls can change the speed or direction of moving objects. P.FM.00.34 Observe how shape (for example: cone, cylinder, sphere) and mass of an object can affect motion. © Copyright 2010.
