Forces and Interactions: Pushes and Pulls
- 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.K-PS2-1
- K-PS2-2.
Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.K-PS2-2
Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Animals, Plants, and Their Environment

Weather and Climate
- K-ESS2-1.
Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.K-ESS2-1
- K-ESS3-2.
Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.K-ESS3-2
- K-PS3-1.
Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface.K-PS3-1
- K-PS3-2.

Engineering Design
- 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-ETS1-1
- 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-ETS1-2
- 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-2-ETS1-3
