State Standards

S 1.1 Explore PI 2A Ask "why" questions in attempts to seek greater understanding concerning objects and events they have observed and heard about.

S 1.2 Explore PI 2B Question the explanations they hear from others and read about, seeking clarification and comparing them with their own observations and understandings.

S 1.3 Explore PI 2C Develop relationships among observations to construct description of objects and events and to form their own tentative explanations of what they have observed.

S 2.1 Explore PI 2A Develop written plans for exploring phenomena or for evaluating explanations guided by questions or proposed explanations they have helped formulate.

S 2.2 Explore PI 2B Share their research plans with others and revise them based on their suggestions.

S 2.3 Explore PI 2C Carry out their plans for exploring phenomena through direct observation and through the use of simple instruments that permit measurements of quantities (e.g., length, mass, volume, temperature, and time).

S 3.1 Explore PI 2A Organize observations and measurements of objects and events through classification and the preparation of simple charts and tables.

S 3.2 Explore PI 2B Interpret organized observations and measurements, recognizing simple patterns, sequences, and relationships.

S 3.3 Explore PI 2C Share their findings with others and actively seek their interpretations and ideas.

S 3.4 Explore PI 2D Adjust their explanations and understandings of objects and events based on their findings and new ideas
