Ready, Set, Science!
* Different inquiry skills
* Various scientific tools and their application
* The process of conducting scientific experiments
BIOLOGY
Living things in their environment
- Classify living and non-living things by identifying physical characteristics,
environment and functions.
- Observe the parts of a plant. Describe the purpose of each plant part and how
plants grow and meet their needs to live.
- Understand ways to care for the environment.
- Observe plant and animals adaptations, their functions and how they are part
of a food chain.
- Observe characteristics of different habitats and how plants and animals in
these habitats meet their needs.
- Observe weather and record changes.
CHEMISTRY
Natural Resources, Material/matter properties and changes
- Understand that everything around us is matter. Matter can be solid, liquid or
gas. Materials can be changed by heating, cooling or dissolving in water.
- Material properties, both natural and manmade. Natural resources are used in
different ways. Recognize different types of rocks.
- Know how the shapes of some materials can be changed.
PHYSICS
Light and dark
- Identify different light sources including the sun.
- Investigate how the sun supplies heat and light to Earth.
Find out the sources of light, know how shadows are formed.
Electricity
- Recognize the components of simple circuits involving cells.
- Know how a switch can be used to break a circuit.
Earth and beyond
- Explore how the sun appears to move during the day and how shadows
change.
- Model how the spin of the Earth leads to day and night.
