INQUIRY STANDARDS
ACROSS ALL UNITS A INQ.1
Make
observations and ask questions about objects, organisms and the environment. A INQ.2
Use
senses and simple measuring tools to collect data. A INQ.3
Make
predictions based on observed patterns. A INQ.4
Read,
write, listen and speak about observations of the natural world. A INQ.5
Seek
information in books, magazines and pictures. A INQ.6
Present
information in words and drawings. A INQ.7
Use
standard tools to measure and describe physical properties such as weight,
length and temperature. A INQ.8
Use
nonstandard measures to estimate and compare the sizes of objects. A INQ.9
Count,
order and sort objects by their properties. A INQ.10 Represent
information in bar graphs. |
A7 Describe and record daily weather conditions. A8 Relate seasonal weather patterns to
appropriate choices of clothing and activities. |
A1 Use the senses and simple measuring tools, such as rulers and
equal-arm balances, to observe common objects and sort them into groups based
on size, weight, shape or color. A2 Sort objects made of materials such as wood, paper and metal into
groups based on properties such as flexibility, attraction to magnets, and
whether they float or sink in water. A3 Count objects in a group and use mathematical terms to describe
quantitative relationships such as: same as, more than, less than, equal,
etc. A9 Describe the types of materials used by
people to build houses, and the properties that make the materials useful |
A4 Describe the similarities and differences in the appearance and
behaviors of plants, birds, fish, insects and mammals (including humans). A5 Describe the similarities and differences in the appearance and
behaviors of adults and their offspring. A6 Describe characteristics that distinguish living from nonliving
things. |
