NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Developing and Using Models. K-2. Develop and/or use a model to represent amounts, relationships, relative scales (bigger, smaller), and/or patterns in the natural and designed world(s).
After a period of time, have students compare their plant measurements.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 4 – Analyzing and Interpreting Data. K-2. Use observations (firsthand or from media) to describe patterns and/or relationships in the natural and designed world(s) in order to answer scientific questions and solve problems.
and if they do, what caused the differences.
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 2 – Cause and Effect. K-2. Simple tests can be designed to gather evidence to support or refute student ideas about causes.
Using six plants or seedlings of the same size and species, allow three plants to have full access to sunlight, either by a window or outside. The other three should be placed in a dark cupboard or closet with no light. Ensure that all six plants have equal amounts of the other elements; water, soil, and space.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 3 – 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.
What time of year do these changes take place?
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 4 – Analyzing and Interpreting Data. K-2. Use observations (firsthand or from media) to describe patterns and/or relationships in the natural and designed world(s) in order to answer scientific questions and solve problems.
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts. 7 – Stability and Change. K-2. Some things stay the same while other things change.
What kind of evidence could we use to support our ideas?
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 6 – Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions. K-2. Use information from observations (firsthand and from media) to construct an evidence-based account for natural phenomena.
find as many signs as possible that indicate winter is approaching
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.
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 also calculate the number of daylight hours that day
NGSS Performance Expectation. 1-ESS1-2 – Earth’s Place in the Universe. Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.
record the weather 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.
