2.1.1: observes properties of objects and measures those properties using appropriate tools.
Weight and Mass
2.1.2: describes and classifies objects by more than one property.
Mineral Identification
2.2: The student will describe the motion of objects.
2.2.1: moves objects by pushing, pulling, throwing, spinning, dropping, and rolling; and describes the motion.
Force and Fan Carts
2.2.2: describes the change in position of objects when moved.
Free Fall Tower

2.4.3: constructs a simple circuit.
Circuit Builder
3: The student will develop an understanding of biological concepts through direct experience with living things, their life cycles, and their habitats.
3.1: The student will develop knowledge of organisms in their environment.
3.1.1: observes different organisms and compares and contrasts how similar functions are served by different structural characteristics.
Flower Pollination
4: The student will observe objects, materials, and changes in their environment, note their properties, distinguish one from another, and develop their own explanations making sense of their observations.
4.1: The student will develop an understanding of the properties of earth materials.
4.1.1: collects, observes properties, and classifies a variety of earth materials in his/her environment.
Mineral Identification
