Science
First and Second Nine Weeks
Unifying Theme: Investigating Properties
K.P.2Understand how objects are described based on their physical properties and how they are used.
K.P.2.1Classify objects by observable physical properties including size, color, shape, texture, weight and flexibility.
K.P.2.2Compare the observable physical properties of different kinds of materials (clay, wood, cloth, paper, etc.) from which objects are made and how they are used.

Unifying Theme: Investigating Properties
K.P.2Understand how objects are described based on their physical properties and how they are used.
K.P.2.1Classify objects by observable physical properties including size, color, shape, texture, weight and flexibility.
K.P.2.2Compare the observable physical properties of different kinds of materials (clay, wood, cloth, paper, etc.) from which objects are made and how they are used.
- All physical objects have properties that can be observed, ordered, classified, and compared:
- People can distinguish and describe objects and materials by their observable properties.
- People can use the properties of objects and materials as criteria to compare and classify the objects and materials.
- People can use the properties of objects and materials as criteria to arrange the objets in a serial order.
- Unifying Theme: Weather K.E.1Understand change and observable patterns of weather that occur from day to day and throughout the year.
K.E.1.1Infer that change is something that happens to many things in the environment based on observations made by using one or more of their senses.
K.E.1.2Summarize daily weather conditions nothing changes that occur from day to day and throughout the year.
K.E.1.3Compare weather patterns that occur from season to season.- Understanding the elements of weather helps us plan our daily lives:
- Weather is characterized by features such as temperature, wind speed and direction, and precipitation.
- Weather may be quantified using tools such as thermometers, rain gauges, and wind speed and direction.
- Water exists in solid, liquid, and gaseous (vapor) states. Cloud and fog are made of droplets of water.
- Humans can use their observations and data records to understand and forecast the weather. Scientists who do this are called meteorologistsUnifying Theme: Animals Two by Two
- Fourth Nine Weeks
- K.L.1Compare characteristics of animals that make them alike and different from other animals and nonliving things.
K.L.1.1Compare different types of the same animal to determine individual differences within a particular type of animal.
K.L.1.2Compare characteristics of living and nonliving things in terms of their:- Structure
- Growth
- Changes
- Movement
- Basic needs
K.P.1.1Compare the relative position of various objects observed in the classroom and outside using position words such as in front of, behind, between, on top of, under, above, below, and beside.
K.P.1.2Give examples of different ways objects and organisms move (to include falling to the ground when dropped): zigzag, round and round, back and forth, fast and slow.- Living things and their habitats have characteristics that can be observed, compared, and categorized:
- Fish have unique characteristics that perform specific functions. Fish demonstrate certain behaviors influenced by internal and external cues.
- Snails have unique structures and behaviors which are necessary for survival and which are influenced by internal and external cues.
- Earthworms have unique structures and behaviors which are influenced by internal and external cues.
- Isopods have unique structures and behaviors which are necessary for survival and which are influenced bu internal and external cues.
- Animal survival depends on the space and conditions that make up their environment including water, food, air, waste removal and a particular temperature range.
