Science
as Inquiry
- Ask
a question about objects, organisms, events. (K-4)
- Scientists
develop explanations using observations (evidence) and what
they already know about the world. Good explanations are based
on evidence from investigations. (K-8)
Physical
Science/Earth and Space Science
- Objects
in the sky have patterns of movement. The sun, for example,
appears to move across the sky in the same way every day. (K-4)
- An
object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring its
position over time. (K-4)
- The
sun, moon, stars, clouds, birds, and airplanes all have properties,
locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
(K-4)
- Most
objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion.
Those motions explain phenomena such as the day, the year, phases
of the moon, and eclipses. (5-8)
