NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas. 2- LS4.D – Biodiversity and Humans. There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water.
have students compare their leaves with leaves on the tree.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Make observations (firsthand or from media) and/or measurements to collect data that can be used to make comparisons.
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts 1 – Patterns. K-2. Patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
Ask them to examine their leaves and sort them into groups so that all the leaves in a group are alike in some way.

NGSS Crosscutting Concepts 1-Patterns. K-2. Patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
Then have students search for “tree parts” that match those in the mystery box.

The blindfolded student should examine the tree’s bark and, if possible, its leaves and other features.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Make observations (firsthand or from media) and/or measurements to collect data that can be used to make comparisons.
Students should observe the weather, the number of daylight hours, and any changes in the tree they notice.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 7 – Stability and Change. K-2. Some things stay the same while other things change.
Challenge students to conduct other observations of the tree,
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.
Ask students to turn to their neighbor and describe the tree, encouraging them to use all of their senses.

Looking at all of the objects together, in what ways are they all alike
NGSS Performance Expectation. 2-PS1-1 – Matter and its Interactions. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
