Science Competencies and Learning Targets for Grade K
PUSHES AND PULLS
▪ 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.*
▪ 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.
ANIMALS, PLANTS, AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT
▪ Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.*
▪ Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
▪ Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live.
▪ Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
WEATHER AND CLIMATE
▪ Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.*
▪ Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface.
▪ Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.
▪ Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.*
