Next Generation Science Standards*:

  • K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

  • K-2-ETS1-2: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

  • K-2-ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

  • K-PS2-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

  • 2-PS1-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.

  • 2-PS1-2: Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.

  • 4-PS3-1: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.

  • 5-PS1-3: Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

Common Core Math Standards*:

  • CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.A.3: Write numbers from 0 to 20 and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.

  • CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.C.6: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.

  • CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. 

  • CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.A.1: Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.A.1: Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.3: Develop understanding of fractions as numbers.

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.3.D: Compare fractions by using benchmarks.

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.B.6: Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers.

  • CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.8: Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.C.5: Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

  • CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.C.6 : Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability.
