Storyline
Science and Engineering Practices
Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Ask questions based on observations to find more information about the natural and/or designed world(s).
Developing and Using Models
Develop and/or use a model to represent amounts, relationships, relative scales (bigger, smaller), and/or patterns in the natural and designed world(s).
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.
Analyzing and interpreting data
Use observations (firsthand or from media) to describe patterns and/or relationship in the natural and designed world(s) in order to answer scientific questions and solve problems.
Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Make observations (firsthand or from media) to construct an evidence-based account for natural phenomena
Engaging in argument from evidence
Construct an argument with evidence to support a claim.
Crosscutting Concepts
Patterns
Children recognize that patterns in the natural and human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
ESS1.B: Earth and the Solar System
Patterns of movement of the sun, moon, and stars as seen from Earth can be observed, described, and predicted.
ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth
Patterns of movement of the sun, moon, and stars as seen from Earth can be observed, described, and predicted.
