several objects (leaves, books) will be longer or
heavier. Students will measure the length and
mass of different objects in standard and nonstandard
units. (1.3; 1.8; 2.1; 4.6)

comparing the different measurements.
b. Use data to describe relationships and make
predictions to be tested.

b. Students will discuss the difference between
rolling and sliding several different objects
(cylinders, cube, ball, cone, pyramid). Students

Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept E: The nature of science relies upon
communication of results and justification of
explanations
a. Communicate observations using words,
pictures, and numbers.
C5 a. Students will create two terrariums using plastic
cups, plants, rocks, soils, water, & tape. Students
will place one in a sunny place and one in a dark
place. Students will observe with a magnifying
lens and measure the growth of the plants. (1.3;
1.8; 2.1; 4.6)
