E.K.8B.2. With teacher guidance, develop questions to conduct a structured investigation to determine how sunlight affects the temperature of the Earth’s natural resources (e.g., sand, soil, rocks, and water).
Flip Charts Sun & Shadows
 
E.K.8B.3. Develop a device (i.e., umbrella, shade structure, or hat) which would reduce heat from the sun (temperature) using an engineering design process to define the problem, design, construct, evaluate, and improve the device.

Earth’s Resources
E.K.10. Students will demonstrate an understanding of how humans use Earth’s resources.
E.K.10.1. Participate in a teacher-led activity to gather, organize and record recyclable materials data on a chart or table using technology. Communicate results.
Vocabulary Terms Taking Care of Earth
Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game & Study Guide Taking Care of Earth
 
E.K.10.2. With teacher guidance, develop questions to conduct a structured investigation to determine ways to conserve Earth's resources (i.e., reduce, reuse, and recycle) and communicate results.
Vocabulary Terms Taking Care of Earth
Quiz, Flash Cards, Worksheet, Game & Study Guide Taking Care of Earth
 
E.K.10.3. Create a product from the reused materials that will meet a human need (e.g., pencil holder, musical instrument, bird feeder). Use an engineering design process to define the problem, design, construct, evaluate, and improve the product.

MS.L.K.KINDERGARTEN: Life Science

KINDERGARTEN: Life Science
Ecology and Interdependence
L.K.3A. Students will demonstrate an understanding of what animals and plants need to live and grow.
L.K.3A.1. With teacher guidance, conduct a structured investigation to determine what plants need to live and grow (water, light, and a place to grow). Measure growth by directly comparing plants with other objects.
Flip Charts What Plants Need
 
L.K.3A.2. Construct explanations using observations to describe and report what animals need to live and grow (food, water, shelter, and space).
Flip Charts What Animals Need
 
L.K.3B. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the interdependence of living things and the environment in which they live.
L.K.3B.1. Observe and communicate that animals get food from plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and need light to live and grow.
Flip Charts Food Chains

Hierarchical Organization
L.K.1A. Students will demonstrate an understanding of living and nonliving things.
L.K.1A.1. With teacher guidance, conduct an investigation of living organisms and nonliving objects in various real-world environments to define characteristics of living organisms that distinguish them from nonliving things (e.g., playground, garden, school ground

Reproduction and Heredity
L.K.2. Students will demonstrate an understanding of how living things change in form as they go through the general stages of a life cycle.
L.K.2.1. Use informational text or other media to make observations about plants as they change during the life cycle (e.g., germination, growth, reproduction, and death) and use models (e.g., drawing, writing, dramatization, or technology) to communicate findings

L.K.2.3. With teacher guidance, conduct a structured investigation to observe and measure (comparison of lengths) the changes in various individuals of a single plant species from seed germination to adult plant. Record observations using drawing or writing.
Flip Charts How Plants Grow
 
L.K.2.4. Use observations to explain that young plants and animals are like but not exactly like their parents (i.e., puppies look similar, but not exactly like their parents).
