Pushes
and Pulls (Forces)
Guiding Questions
• What happens when you push or pull on an
object? • How can you make an object move faster or in a
different direction?
NGSS Standards
K-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the
effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes
and pulls on the motion of an object.
K-PS2-2. Analyze data to determine if a design solution
works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object
with a push or a pull.*

Pushes
and Pulls (Forces)
Guiding Questions
What causes shadows? What
happens when there is no light?
NGSS Standards
1-PS4-2. Make observations to construct an evidence-based
account that objects in darkness can be seen only when
illuminated.
1-PS4-3. Plan and conduct investigations to determine the
effect of placing objects made with different materials in the
path of a beam of light.

Materials
Guiding Questions:
How can we describe different materials? •
How are materials similar and different from one another? • What
sort of changes can happen to materials? • How do the properties
of the materials relate to their use?
NGSS
2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and
classify different kinds of materials by their observable
properties.
2-PS1-2. Analyze data obtained from testing different
materials to determine which materials have the properties that
are best suited for the intended purpose.*
2-PS1-3. Make observations to construct an evidence-based
account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be
disassembled and made into a new object.
2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some
changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some
cannot.

Forces
Guiding
Questions • What happens when several different forces push or
pull an object at once? • How can an object be pushed or pulled
but not move? • What do we need to know to predict the motion of
objects? • How can some objects push or pull one another without
even touching?
NGSS
3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide
evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the
motion of an object.
3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an
object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used
to predict future motion.
3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect
relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two
objects not in contact with each other.

Vision and Light
Guiding Questions • How do the internal and external structures
of animals help them sense and interpret their environment? •
How do senses help animals survive, grow, and reproduce? • What
role does light play in how we see?
NGSS
4-LS1-2.
Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of
information through their senses, process the information in
their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
4-PS3-2.
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be
transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and
electric currents.
4-PS4-2.
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects
and entering the eye allows objects to be seen

Matter
Guiding
Questions
• What causes different materials to have
different properties? • How do materials change when they
dissolve, evaporate, melt, or mix together? • What are the
differences between solids, liquids, and gases?
NGSS
5-PS1-1.
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too
small to be seen.
5-PS1-2.
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless
of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or
mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
5-PS1-3.
Make observations and measurements to identify materials based
on their properties.
5-PS1-4.
Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two
or more substances results in new substances.

Plant Growth and Reproduction
MS-LS1-4 Use arguement based on
emphirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an
explanation for how charaterists of plant structures affet the
probability of successful reproduction of plants
MS-LS1-5
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidene for how
environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of
organisms.
