Get the students to title their work and give a brief overview of the topic they've chosen to explore. Science Standard: K-PS1-1: Plan and carry out an Academic Language and Vocabulary What academic language will you emphasize and teach each day during this unit? different strengths or directions of pushes and pulls affect the movement of an item. Physical properties: characteristics of a material that can be observed or measured (e.g., color, texture, shape) Descriptive vocabulary: words used to provide details and information about something (e.g.. smooth, rough, soft, hard) the motion of an object, plan and carry out a research. affect the path of an object, and see how the results compare.

Summary of Curriculum- based Learning Activities Describe developmentally Students will be introduced to the concept of physical properties of materials. The lesson will involve hands-on exploration of different materials to observe and describe their physical properties. Resources include pencils, pebbles, books, boxes, and a book titled "What Is the World Made Of?" by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld. Different types of materials that are used every day (e.g., plastics, metals, fabric, and glass) Analysis, Inquiry, and Design Students will apply mathematical analysis, scientific investigation, and engineering design to Students will engage in hands-on experiments to explore and compare the physical properties of different materials. They will use digital cameras or tablets to document their observations and create a visual representation of their findings. Different types of materials that are used every day (e.g., plastics, metals, fabric, and glass) In this activity. students can observe and describe the transfer of several sources of energy. Major Understandings: Students will share their observations and descriptions of the physical properties of materials with each other. This collaborative learning activity will foster communication and engagement among students. Different types of materials that are used every day (e.g., plastics, metals, fabric, and glass) Using molecules, electrons, and nuclear particles as examples, students may explain wavelength and frequency fluctuations. plastics, metals, fabric, and glass) Students will explore how physical properties are related to everyday objects and materials they encounter. The lesson will emphasize the significance of understanding physical properties in daily life. Students can predict and describe linear and uniform circular motion, velocity and acceleration, plastics, metals, fabric, and glass) Students will synthesize the information they gathered during the unit and create a visual representation of their findings. This could be in the form of a poster or slideshow, showcasing their understanding of physical properties and their ability to write informative/explana tory texts. Interconnectedness: Students will see the connections between math, science, and technology and meaningful and challenging learning activities that apply appropriate curriculum that is aligned to state standards. ask, answer, and solve >The law of energy problems. Kev Idea 1: Mathematically, abstraction and symbolic representation are applied. Analyze data using algebraic and geometric representations. Kev Idea 2: Mathematicians utilize inductive and deductive thinking. Key Idea 3: Critical thinking skills are used to solve math questions. >Solve problems using algebra and geometry. describe how slope, intercepts, and area under the curve in a graphical representation of real- world data are physically relevant. conservation applies to all energy transfers. >Energy can be changed from mechanical, electric, nuclear, and thermal forms. >Potential energy is the energy that an item has because of where or how it is. Potential energy can be either gravitational or elastic. >Kinetic energy is the kind of energy that a thing has because it is moving. >Mechanical energy is constant in a perfect mechanical system. > Power is the amount of work done or energy used per unit of time. Major Understandings: Oscillating systems generate waves. The type of wave made depends on the system. Waves convey information and energy without mass. This energy can travel in spikes or regular waves. Waves have amplitude. wavelength, frequency, period, wave speed, and phase. Mechanical waves need a medium. A change in speed can cause a wave to refract. The angle of refraction (measured with regard to the normal) relies on the media's indices of refraction and incidence angle.* Wave speed is inversely related to the absolute index of refraction. momentum and inertia. Major Understandings: >Measurements can be vector or scalar. >The consequence of two or more vectors acting at any angle is vector addition. >Linear motion can be constant velocity or acceleration Note: Only steady acceleration will be tested. >Gravity accelerates free-falling objects. Friction and other forces change the actual motion of a falling object. (Note: The initial speed of an item in free fall can be in any direction.) apply them to other subjects. Key Idea 1: Systems thinking helps people understand how systems work and how their elements interact. Key Idea 2: Models simplify objects, structures, and systems for study, interpretation, or design. Key Concept 3: Connectivity Putting sizes, times, frequencies, pressures, or other units of measurement into a set of relative order is a good way to deal with the huge range and changes in scale that affect how systems work and how they are designed.
