FEK.1
Examine the effects of physical forces, magnetic forces, light energy, sound energy, and heat energy, on objects in their environment.

SI

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Investigate how applying or removing physical and magnetic forces of varying intensity can cause objects (e.g., toy cars, blocks, balls, pencils, and books) in their environment to move, stop moving, stay at rest, or change direction.

(b)

Predict and test the results of applying physical and magnetic forces, including friction, to an object or removing forces from an object.

(c)

Describe the effects of applying forces of varying intensity on various objects using personal language such as "it moved", "it stopped", and "it changed direction".

(d)

Observe the effects of magnets on a variety of metallic and non-metallic objects (e.g., nails, screws, pencils, paper, keys, paper clips, and clothing) and sort those objects based on their attraction to magnets.

(e)

Identify natural and artificial sources of light, sound, and heat in their environment.

(f)

Conduct simple investigations into the effects of light, sound, and heat on different objects, including self, through free exploration, focused exploration, and guided activity using inquiry skills (e.g., heat melting crayons, sunlight fading paper, and rice on a drum bouncing).

(g)

Describe personal observations of the effects of light, sound, and heat energy on objects, including self, using stems such as I see, I hear, it feels, it smells, and it tastes (when safe and appropriate to do so).

(h)

Predict effects (e.g., plant growth is reduced, danger warnings are not heard, and objects may freeze) of the removal of light, sound, and/or heat from their environment.

National Geographic Science K Series
This series of modular kits allows students to build skills to ensure a complete understanding of the nature of science. The process skills and the nature of science work together to help students think and act like scientists. In kindergarten, students will develop their process skill of observation. Through the nature of science, kindergarten students will learn that science knowledge is based on evidence and that science knowledge can change based upon new evidence.

Numerous opportunities are provided for students to engage in hands-on explorations that ensure a thorough understanding of key science concepts. Each unit opens with a Big Question to guide learning. Throughout the unit, there are four levels of inquiry. The Explore Activity allows students to build background knowledge. Teachers direct instruction in Directed Inquiry. In Guided Inquiry, students become independent learners with guidance from the teacher. Students choose their own questions, create and carry out plans, collect and record data and share data in Open Inquiry.

Additional materials for students and teachers are available online at www.myngconnect.com/login/chooseMainUI.spr
