K.SI
Science as Inquiry : Students build an understanding, through observation and experimentation, the foundations of science, the study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world God created using scientific inquiry.
K.LES
Life and Environmental Science: Students demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and structure of all God’s creation: living things, the processes of life, and how God designed living things to interact with one another and the environment in which they live. Genesis 1.11 – 2.25 – Central theme: The world and all creation began with God.
K.PS
Physical Science Students understand and demonstrate that properties of materials and energy change, can be observed, measured, and protected.
K.ES
Earth and Space Science Students demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and structures of earth and space. Genesis 1.1 – 2.25 – Central theme: The universe and all creation began with God.
K.ETS
Engineering and Technology Science
K.SI.1
Observe and ask questions about the natural world God Created
K.SI.2
Plan and conduct simple investigations
K.SI.3
Employ simple equipment and tools to gather data and extend the senses
K.SI.4
Use appropriate mathematics with data to construct reasonable explanations
K.SI.5
Communicate about observations, investigations and explanations
K.SI.6
Review and ask questions about the observations and explanations of others
K.SI.7
Apply Catholic values to the development and application of science concepts
K.LES.1
Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
K.PS.1
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
K.PS.2
Energy and its effects
K.ES.1
Earth and Space Science Students demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and structures of earth and space. Genesis 1.1 – 2.25 – Central theme: The universe and all creation began with God.
K.ES.2
Earth and Human Activity
K.ETS.1
Ask questions, make observations, and gathers information about a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
K.ETS.2
Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
K.ETS.3
Analyze data from testing two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
K.LES.1.a
Identify what God has created, living and non-living (plants, animals, humans, rocks, rainbows, water...) and their characteristics
K.LES.1.b
Classify different types of animal groupings
K.LES.1.c
Observe and describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive
K.LES.1.d
Describe the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and where they live
K.LES.1.e
Explain how plants and animals (including humans) can change their environment to meet their basic needs
K.LES.1.f
Use observations (first hand or media) to describe patterns in the natural world in order to answer scientific questions
K.PS.1.a
Investigate strengths and directions of pushes and pulls of an object
K.PS.1.b
Analyze design solutions intended to change the speed and direction of an object using a push or pull
K.PS.1.c
Understand when objects touch or collide, they push on one another and can change motion
K.PS.1.d
With guidance, plan and conduct and explain an investigation demonstrating pushes and pulls on the motion of an object
K.PS.1.e
Investigate how observable properties of matter can change (sand mixed with water, melted ice or snow...)
K.PS.2.a
Observe and determine the effect of sunlight on the Earth’s surface
K.PS.2.b
With guidance, plan, design, and build a structure that will demonstrate the power of the sun’s energy
K.ES.1.a
Weather and Climate patterns – describe, record and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time (i.e., morning to afternoon, day to day)
K.ES.1.b
Understand plants and animals, including humans, can change their environment to meet their needs
K.ES.1.c
Identify the impact of changes plants, animals and humans make on the environment (i.e., tree roots lift or break concrete, squirrels dig holes...)
K.ES.2.a
Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live
K.ES.2.b
Understand living things need water, air and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need
K.ES.2.c
Understand humans use natural resources for everything they do
K.ES.2.d
Identify natural resources humans use
K.ES.2.e
Ask questions to obtain information about severe weather forecasting and its effects on human behavior
K.ES.2.f
Communicate solutions to reduce human impact on the environment
