a. Students will plant a seed on the side of a
clear cup. Students will observe seeds each
day and draw pictures on a chart to show the

1. The nature of technology is advanced by and can advance science as it seeks to apply
scientific knowledge in ways that meet human needs
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Designed objects are used to
do things better or more easily and to do
some things that could not otherwise be
done at all
a. Recognize that some objects occur in
nature (natural objects); others have
been designed and made by people .
Concept B: Advances in technology often
result in improved data collection and an
increase in scientific information
a. Describe how tools have helped
scientists make better observations (e.g.,
magnifiers, balances, thermometers).

a. Students will use a visual to classify objects
as either natural or manmade. Students will

a. Students will look at a piece of lettuce
carefully and draw it. They will place the
lettuce under a magnifying glass and draw
how the lettuce looks under the lens. They
will compare and discuss the two pictures.
Students will tell why it is good for scientists
to use magnifying glasses while making
observations. (1.4)
a. Students will create a T-chart that categorizes
objects in the classroom into natural or
manmade. Students will make a list of ways
modern technology has helped health
problems.
a. Students will tell when it might be a good idea
for a scientist to use a magnifying glass.
